The continual replacement of blood cells from the bone marrow, the continual replacement of epidermal cells fro...more
Hi Tim, Classical genetics should be possible, but there are no well established lab lines not genotyping as of yet. Here are some links to some recent papers you may find interesting! http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v489/n7417/full/nature11499.html http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi...more
Hi Tim - thanks for you interest and your question. So, we are really interested in doing a complete genome + annotation - and we are seeking support from additional funding sources to do this. For this competition we are requesting the materials to do a deep PacBio IsoSeq transcriptome. Our ra...more
