Re: Varigated ZZ`s and more.

Hi Bernhard,

I can tell you that many aminoglycosides can cause read-through of stop 
codons.  The ones that I was most familiar with back then were neomycin and 
gentamicin....both insanely common in any science lab in the world.  These 
were not the ones I used I am pretty sure, but honestly, this was atleast 5 
years ago so do not remember what aminoglycoside I used.  I'm sure a 5 
minute search of the scientific literature would turn  it up.  As I recall, 
I came across this when reading more about the molecular biology of 
premature stop codon read-through for CF therapy and thought, hey that could 
be fun to fiddle with at home.

Perhaps we could all sit at home and make designer aroids for ourselves, but 
I would worry that this schlock would end up on ebay along with some of the 
rest of the garbage that can be found there.

Happy mutating everyone,

Dan

Dan,

could you specify the antibiotics that cause this?

Curious,

..and YES, these
antibiotics if used in too high a concentration cause total albinism in
both
Arisaema and Amorphophallus seedlings....unpublished observations from
my
own back-yard lab :o)
