[DIYbio] Re: Isolating sequences from scratch

Hey Stacy,

If I were to order the plant today it would take a few weeks to arrive.

In interim, how could I go about prepping? I'm a novice and am not extensively familiar with these terms and procedures. How would I go about making a large insert shotgun library and the following steps of plasmid preps and end-sequencing? not to mention, what exactly would the end sequencing help me accomplish?

Its easy to order the plants online, seeds as well. however I'm not sure when I will have a blooming flower (tissue), once I receive seeds/plant. Its cultivated.

Thanks,
Nico

Hi Nico,
 
The cheapest way to get going would be to make a large insert shotgun library.  You'll need access to live plant tissue for that; if you don't have access to live plant tissue, you can make a small insert library.  That would be followed by some plasmid preps (not expensive), and some end-sequencing (a little expensive).  
 
I'd be happy to help you through the project. 
 
To start with, do you have access to live tissue?  Is this species wild-collected or cultivated?
