I’d love to create a mini series highlighting the cool biology folks uncover with the help of this kit.
If you use this kit, please get in touch so I can highlight YOU and YOUR WORK!

I’m proud of the team that made this launch possible and incredibly appreciative of Dr. Stergachis for trusting us to turn his tech into a reliable commercial product.
But what I’m REALLY excited for is seeing the cool data folks generate using this kit.

Hi Genome Engineering peeps!
When you genotype crude cell lysates after colony picking, which PCR enzyme/buffer composition works best for you for genotyping >1.5kb amplicons?
KOD Xtreme is amazingly robust but so $$$😬
Thank you!
