Hello! I'm trying to probe microsatellites (SSRs) in a mantid (T. sinensis) using two biotinylated oligo sequences [(CA)10 and (GA)10]. I know the concentration the probes need to be, but I don't know the volume. I've looked through numerous papers and can't find anyone who's reported the volume used. I'm going to digest 1ug of genomic DNA with RsaI, hybridize the probes, then pull them out with streptavidin magnetic beads. There's about 5700 Mbp in a diploid cell if that helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Mike

Hi. I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction. I'm looking for the length/size (in Mb) of an entire genome. The species is Tenodera sinensis. Is there a database somewhere with basic nuclear DNA information, like the number of bp's? Thank you!
