Re: Joe Thakuria
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:
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)
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.
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.
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 leaking (=r the sample can't be used).
The following ar= VERY IMPORTANT:
1
EFTA_R1_01763543
EFTA02584650
You or someone else will need to send me the names and contact info=(especially email and phone) for people who are submitting samples. <=div>
But do not put those names on the tubes or fill=out paperwork that came with the tubes. I'll take care of that.
You do need to label the tubes though. For the addit=onal 4 samples, you can use the following designations: YPO 76, =PO 77, YPO 78, YPO 79
Obviously I will need to=know who is who. (So you'll need to email me: "YPO 76 is jane doe= YPO 77 is john doe, etc.)
I can't overemphasize the importance of the labelin=. If I'm given the YPO number, names, and/or samples are incorrectly m=tched, the people will get results that are not theirs.
It's actually very straightforward but I want to avoid any m=stakes by spelling everything out.
You can mail t=e tubes back in the boxes (and unfilled paperwork) they came in. But, of c=urse, make sure each tube is labeled with the appropriate YPO St so we know=who is who.
Email me with any questions.
T=anks!
