Okay, I think I’ve come up with a solution to the lack of toads we’ve been experiencing (and avoiding the pratfalls of transporting/storing/acquiring permits/smell of living toads).

I think that I could genetically enhance millions of sugar beets (potatoes are far too watery and taste horrible raw) with cane toad DNA, creating a race of super beets that are both delicious and extremely toxic.

This would mean that I’m entering the weapons manufacturing scene with my brand-new Belt-fed Bombastic Borscht Buster 9001! (it’s over NINE THOUSAAAAAND!)

Yahoo thought this belonged in pets/reptiles
@ Gregg: The density can be changed using my patented Beet’s Ultimate Liquid Loosening of Solid and Hard Internal Texture (BULLSH!T)

You are studying a new primate species which you have just discovered in remote jungles of Africa.
You have brought back to the lab a lot cells that can be grown and used to isolate cellular components.
The standard methodology is to isolate random fragments of DNA, clone them, and do lots and lots of
sequencing to characterize the genome. You have already cloned restriction fragments in the size range
300-2000 bps but haven’t yet sequenced them. Unfortunately, the Flat Earth Luddites (an
ultraultraconservative group) has decided biological knowledge is dangerous and managed to destroy
all the manufacturing plants for ddNTPs halting all large-scale sequencing projects.

Science must go on. Describe 5 experiments you will do do characterize the genome of this
primate. You can choose any genome-specific reasonable metrics. Include at least one that allows you
to make comparisons of it to the human, chimpanzee, and/or rhesus macaque (the genomes of these
primates are fully sequenced). Assume you can get any research materials from those organisms. You
can perform about a total of 10 kb of sequencing with dNTPs you have left over.
