DGGE standards

- IMMEDIATE LINK TO GUIDE -

A message at the Yahoo DGGE group indicates that a company in Japan (Nippon Gene Co., LTD.)is selling DGGE markers for a variety of different gradient conditions. I tracked down the website, and although most of the text is in Japanese, it is still fairly easy to figure out what products are what. Anyway, I'm including a link to the standards page. And, as always - I am not affiliated with this company in any way! Caveat emptor. And remember - you can always make your own standards if you put your mind to it.

Cheers,
Stefan

Cyanobacterial Article Available for Free, Online at ISME Journal

- IMMEDIATE LINK TO GUIDE -

Ok, my cyanobacterial article - "A salinity and sulfate manipulation of hypersaline microbial mats reveals stasis in the cyanobacterial community structure" is a featured (and therefore freely accessible) article in the current issue of the ISME Journal.
Enjoy.

Cheers,
Stefan
