>>The best forum is METHDS-REAGNTS. You can access it from the BIOSCI
gopher. There are many ways to get to it; I choose USA - California -
BIOSCI - METHDS-REAGNTS. They have a large volume of correspondence, so
it may take a while to sort through it.
Actually, your questions might be answered conveniently from a document
called methods.faq. (faq stands for "frequently asked questions"). It
is a large document with considerable current information about PCR, and
is available from the METHDS-REAGNTS group. It is the last item on the
menu, when you use a gopher to access the group. You can then e-mail it
to yourself.
