Plastid Contamination in TAMU BACs

[Sneaky Weasel]

        Greetings

        In order to estimate plastid contamination in the TAMU BAC library,
it has been probed with a PCR fragment containing the A. thaliana atpE and
trnM plastid genes and a Barley psbD gene. Note that the A. thaliana
mitochondrial trnM differs by only only 5 bp from the plastid trnM gene, so
this could be considered an estimate of plastid and mitochondrial
contamination. 59 out of 3936 clones (1.6%) hybridized to these probes.


        Here are the 384 and 96 well plate grid locations.
