GEARING UP FOR dsRNA EXPRESSIONTo express double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), we use a host strain of E. coli, HT115(DE3), genetically deficient in an enzyme (RNAse III) that normally degrades intracellul...

Using the very fast and easy method of Chung et al (1989), I got four of my seven synthetic plasmids into the dsRNA expression strain. The other three transformations failed - why? Maybe because I ...

Gene synthesis took longer than expected - just got notice that the active ingredient is en route, due to arrive soon in Seattle, to be forwarded on to Americus GA.

Setting up new lab here; beginning to recruit undergraduate student researchers. Some B. glabrata have come along; planning to register with the BEI/BRI snail source to get a fresh shipment soon.

They were delayed by a miscommunication between the company that takes orders and the company that actually grows the snails. Better late than never! Here is a picture of some of them, floating on ...
