ZEBRAFISH YAC LIBRARY?By D.A. Powers, Director, Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, Pacific Grove, California 93950
I have contacted a company who may be willing to make a zebrafish YAC library, but they want to obtain some feeling for the level of interest in the zebrafish community. While a number of my colleagues have encouraged me to pursue the creation of YAC library, I have not done an extensive survey of the zebrafish scientific community. If you are interested in having a zebrafish YAC library available for your current or future research, I would greatly appreciate it if you would send me a brief note or e-mail message stating that you are interested in it. This same company is also interested in making cDNA and genomic libraries from puffer fish DNA. If you are interested in any of these libraries, I would be happy to forward the company's name and address to you once they have built the libraries.

While they will probably proceed with the puffer fish libraries within a few weeks, they haven't decided about the YAC library and I would greatly appreciate your support in convincing them that the zebrafish community is really interested. If there is any other information that you would like me to pass on to this company, I would be happy to relate whatever you send me.
