DNA Database
What is involved in getting something like this off the ground? I work at a zoo with a great research dept. I have never discussed this kind of project with anyone in the labs. I know they do similar work on other species. What i don't know is their willingness to do this for the private sector. I figure from our standpoint it maybe as simple as sending freshly shed skin to them for DNA collection. It is likely they would want to do the assays in larger lots from a cost standpoint.
We have talked about this for some time but nothing is bring done. Still everyone recognizes the value of this. It would be great starting point for a studbook to grow from too.
