I need to steal a credit card..

And I need to do it today.

Just discovered that https://www.dna20.com/ will ship customized genes to shady warehouses and P.O. Boxes. Finally a company working with their customers. This makes me happy:

Each synthetic gene will be delivered to you cloned into a plasmid and double strand DNA sequence verified. Standard plasmid shipments contain 2-5 µg purified lyophilized plasmid DNA, but more DNA is available for an additional charge. The plasmid with your gene is delivered in a microcentrifuge tube, along with a transformed E. coli culture stab for domestic customers. International customers receive a filter paper with the plasmid in order to expedite shipping. A Quality Assurance Certificate is also enclosed. All bacterial growth is done in Soytone media (an animal-free LB equivalent).

For each gene, sequence chromatogram trace files covering both strands of the gene, a plasmid map and the full nucleotide sequence of the plasmid containing your gene insert are available in your online account in electronic format.

Ahhh, Technology. Making my life easier everyday. It used to be I'd have to beat the crap out of the folks at the human Genome project and steal what I needed. Now I can just order it. Yay, Science!
