Temporary plate seals

These covers are not DMSO-resistant; they are 3M mailing labels! However, they can serve as seals while working with your assay plates to help prevent evaporation. Available from Qiagen as Catalog # 19570. They can also be ordered from Staples as Catalog # MMM822P, but you will have to cut them down to the 4.5" X 3" size.

Sources of Mouse BACs
(Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes)

From Alex Bird, Max Planck Institute, Dresden.

"We order most of our BACs through 'BACPAC' http://bacpac.chori.org/ Sometimes we want a clone from a library they don't carry and then usually go through Invitrogen. To find BACs that contain a gene of interest, we often use the UCSC genome browser http://genome.ucsc.edu and turn on 'BAC end pairs'."
