Recombinant Genomes: First Pass

›
We’ve now got deep sequencing data of donor, recipient, and transformant genomes. And it is, indeed, “deep”, at least in quantity. Here’s ...

Saturation and Chaser

›
EDITED: Used bad mol per cell calculation earlier. How much DNA does an average cell in a competent culture take up? I did two experiments...

USS uptake with Illumina adaptors

›
(I'm somehow deeply amused by the above image. I think it has something to do with the arrow going from the DNA molecule to the sun.) I...

Missing Posts
