Jeffrey, can add whoever he want into the YPO exome study but I will=need to have those samples mailed to me directly and received by next Mond=y at the latest to be included in this sequencing run. The exomes (at cost) are $1000 each. I'll add this =o his invoice which I'll send before the end of the week. <=iv> I don't want this getting lost or held up in HMS or =GH interoffice mail. So, please mail to my home address: Joe Thakuria He should have (if I remember =orrectly) 4 extra kits. If he needs more, let me know right away because w='ll be cutting it close in terms of getting into this round (with mail=ng it out to him and then back to me). The instructions in the pack are straightforward and he=just did it recently but, to summarize: 1. do not=eat/drink/smoke or chew gum for 30minutes prior to collecting (eg, if you =te a chili dog, we could get contamination from pork, beef, chicken, tomat=, kidney bean, and chili pepper genomes; you'd be surprised how much s=milarity there is on the DNA level between very different species) 2. spit into the funnel and fill to the indicated line =not all the way to the top so there's room for #3) and make sure this =sn't filled with bubbles. If there are bubbles it may need to settle a=little so the process typically takes 2 - 5 minutes. 3. There are 2 caps. When done spitting, close the firs= cap (attached to the funnel the person spits into) so that you hear a cli=k and the liquid in that first cap goes into the tube. That liquid needs t= mix with the collected saliva. 4. Then take that first cap off an put the second small=r cap on and close tightly. Make sure the cap is on well and not
