[Drosophila] Drosophila busckii | rp49/rpl32 sequence and/or qPCR control gene

[Darren Obbard]

Dear all,

Has anyone ever sequenced rp49/rpl32 in Drosophila busckii (or know 
someone who might have done so?).

We need a short sequence (the ~200 5' bases of CDS) to act as an 
endogenous control in qPCR. After a /lot/ of effort, we can't seem to 
amplify rp49 from this species

Failing that, has anyone got a suitable alternative sequence we could 
try as endogenous control for qPCR in D buskii?

Thanks for any advice you can give!

Darren
