The U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, National Ocean Service Hollings Marine Lab, 331 Ft. Johnson Road, Charleston, South Carolina 29412 intends to purchase the following equipment: Ambion AA MessageAmp II Cy3 20rxn Kits, 30 each. Kits to be delivered FOB Destination to the Lab at 331 Ft. Johnson Road, Charleston, SC 29412. These kits are needed to conduct and complete a major project of the Lab. These kits are used to amplify and label oyster messenger RNA so that gene expression in response to environmental challenge can be quantified using gene microarrays. The amplification involves the generation of aminoallyl-modified RNA, and the labeling step involves the conjugation of Cy3 dye to the aminoallyl-derivatized RNA. These kits are needed to analyze messenger RNA from oysters collected from field sites and to compare these results with those already obrtained for messenger RNA from oysters challenged under con trolled laboratory conditions. The studies on the laboratory-challenged oysters have been completed, and were all conducted using Ambion AA MessageAMp II Cy3 20rxn kits. It is necessary that the analysis on the messenger RNA from the field collected oysters be conducted using exactly the same methods and reagents as for the laboratory challenged oysters. If the methods and reagents used in the two projects are not the same, then the results will not be comparable and the design of the experiments and the analysis of the data will be open to question and challenge.
