>We are trying to produce the same thing, i.e. a Mutant PCR fragment with
 altered restriction sites. We have previously generated such a molecule
of 120 bp by using an ABI synthesizer, but we were unsuccessful with 180
bp and above. This appears to be due to the limits of the synthesis. 
Any suggestions anybody?
