Dear Arabidopsis researchers,

We are exploring the possibility of providing a mapping and map-based cloning service for the Arabidopsis community.  Users would provide leaf imprints of 96 (or multiples of 96) F2 plants from a mapping population.  The service would return a map position within ~120 KB and would identify informative recombinants.  The service would be nonprofit and could be supported or supplemented by research grants.  Personal information provided in response to this questionnaire will not be made public.

Thank you very much for your time!
