Do you or Nils have answers to these questions. (1( Do we have a lab-wise list of these UNI-SSRs, along with the nature of work being conducted in each lab?; if not can we make an effort to collect this information? (2) Do we have a list of UNI-EST-SSRs, that are not being used by any lab; if we have such a list, can these be assigned to labs for a collaborative activity? ... P.K. Gupta c/o Ankur Gupta 3107A Kings Ct Raleigh, NC - 27606 Ph : 919-852-5167(Res) ============================== From: "Dr Rajeev Kumar \(Varshney\)" <kumar@ipk-gatersleben.de> Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 18:01:03 +0200 To: "Pushpendra Gupta" <pkgupta36@hotmail.com>, <matthews@greengenes.cit.cornell.edu> Cc: <hsbalyan@rediffmail.com>, <rajeev@ipk-gatersleben.de>, <stein@ipk-gatersleben.de> Respected Sir, I am of your opinion regarding the collaborative activity on Uni-EST-SSR even across the genera. As we mentioned in our message at EST-SSR webpage and Nils also wrote about the same in his a recent mail that we will be interested in mapping interspecies (wheat/barley/rye/rice..) Uni-EST-SSRs...we are still looking forward to hear from the researchers involved in such efforts whether they will like to collaborate on the same.. Regarding your specific question about the listing of Uni-EST-SSRs and the nature of work in which different labs are involved, Dave/ Nils may answer the same. But we (our lab, besides Mark Sorrells' lab) can certainly define such set of Uni-EST-SSRs from the available public ESTs from different cereal species.....and that may be distributed to different labs for mapping/other works as you also suggested so.. Thanking you.
