Hi Paul,
Like your introduction! so you are working on single molecule DNA sequencing with more than 10k bp, that sounds very exciting. I can imagine that will not be easy. Can you post more about it? Regards, Jiali QUOTE (phdear @ Jan 16 2008, 12:05 PM)  Hi, since things seem quiet here, I thought I'd break the ice and introduce myself.
Cheers, Paul |

I'd feel more comfortable using them if this were the case.... Cheers, Paul Just point me to a source of said smilies and I'll see what I can do... ;-) -dst |

Hi, since things seem quiet here, I thought I'd break the ice and introduce myself.
I'm Paul Dear, and I run a research group at the LMB in Cambridge. I have done single-molecule DNA work for many years, focussing on molecular counting, genome mapping, molecular haplotyping, pathogen detectin and ancient DNA. All of these techniques use a "molecular biologist's" approach to single-mol work: we use very efficient, very highly-multiplexed single-molecule PCR. More recently, I'm getting involved the more "biophysical" approaches to single-molecule work. One of our main goals is single-molecule sequencing, with the aim being long (>10kb) read lengths. I'm developing microfluidic and optical devices, and other members of my group are working on the molecular biology side. My background is mainly in molecular biology (technology/methodology development), though I also have a leaning towards physics, electronics and computing. Here's hoping this site takes off. I'm not too familiar with this type of discussion forum, so I'm not sure if you can message me through it or not (?). But if you want to contact me (and if you are not an automated email-trawling spam-bot), my email address is phd@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk NOTE TO FORUM MODERATOR: can the repertoire of available "smilies" include some that are middle-aged and slightly overweight? I'd feel more comfortable using them if this were the case.... Cheers, Paul |
