FIND (if present) trout homolog for bone morphogenetic protein-1/tolloid (BMP-1/TLD) family of metalloproteases in ESTs (OK, found a few EST clones: CA387524, BX878813, BX109543 when BLASTn with frog BMP-1 NM_001045671. Do we just want sequence/primers for gene expression or should I attempt to clone the entire CDS?)

Construct new y2h library (or find company to do it) (Current "quote" from Clontech, as of 5/28/2008, ~$14,500. This will create a normalized, full-length cDNA library cloned into pGADT7. To have them also transform this library into the appropriate yeast strain, the total cost of the entire project would be ~$20,000. To have a full-length, normalized, cDNA library made WITHOUT cloning into a vector would cost $8500.)

Ricketssia chip and more...

Alrighty, here's what I was able to find. A Rickettsia chip appears to be available through TIGR. Here's the link to the chip description and links for ordering: http://pfgrc.tigr.org/slide_html/array_descriptions/R_prowazekii.shtml

Apparently to obtain a chip, researchers have to apply (which is a rolling process) for approval and then the chips are provided free of charge.

Additionally, they also offer a Rickettsia library cloned into the Invitrogen Gateway vector system: http://pfgrc.tigr.org/servlet/pfgrc/fir/select_organism.jsp (Scroll down to look at info for Rickettsia).

That's all I could find. Other uses of arrays in the literature were custom jobs and, as such, aren't available publicly. If you're interested in any of those papers for possibly contacting the authors, let me know; I have them saved in Papers.
