At a guesstimated total cost of £200. | |||
This would give us the immediate means to do gene detection (by designing primers that mark particular genes.) E.g.: | |||
* Detection of genetic modifications (identify [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_food GM food]) | |||
* Detection of species ("lamb curry test": are you getting what you bought?) | |||
* Detection of variants of species (e.g. detect known traits based on published gene sequences) | |||
* We can also send the results to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequencing sequencing lab] to get raw data back. | |||
