Dear List,

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable break.  I am currently faced with
having to use fish tissues stored in formalin for a genetic study.  My
question -: Is anybody aware of any protocols to allow the PCR of around 400
base pairs from fish tissues stored in formalin,

Thanks in advance,
