This page lists various sources used in our research organized by topic. Please note that most of the links to articles on this page will take you only to the abstract of the paper.
General
- [http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/default.asp New England Biolabs Web Page]
Includes catalog for restriction endonucleases/other lab products, a resource called [http://tools.neb.com/NEBcutter2/index.php NEBcutter] that tells you what restriction endonucleases will cut your gene/DNA sequence of interest, and a tool called the [http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/DoubleDigestCalculator.asp? Double Digest Finder] that will tell you how compatible two restriction endonucleases are by comparing what conditions they work best in.
