Some may wish to be aware that there are other public BAC libraries available (on a cost-recovery basis) for the same genotypes, although they are not the specific libraries that were used in Thea's sequencing.

Dear Cotton Researchers,

Dr. Thea WIlkins would like to release all of her genome resources through Amplicon Express (for lists the type and cost of services, please visit http://ampliconexpress.com), as they maintain excellent QC and provide a range of services. However, she needs know if there is sufficient interest by the community for Amplicon to provide such services.

The resources are 6 BAC libraries of excellent quality with >125 kb inserts as follows ~8X MboI G. Arboreum AKA8401 library anchored by Andy Paterson ~6X BamHI G. arboreum AKA 8401 library used to generate sequence-based physical map ~6X EcoRI G. arboreum AKA 8401 library used to generate sequence-based physical map

...

5X Gossypiodes Kirkii BAC library generated for making sequence-based physical map 5X G. Kirkii library generated for making a sequence-based physical map

5X G. hirsutum TM1 BAC library 

Please let us know if you are interested in using these resources via services provided by Amplicon Express within the next two weeks. If there is not enough interest, these important resources, which are not currently available to the community, will be lost to the community forever.

Please reply to this email with either a “yes” or “no” (please use reply and not reply all).

Thank you for your help.
