    Very informative thank you. we also have sample which we sometimes isolate that needs sequencing to correctly identify the causal organism to species level. So how do we send our samples considering that sometimes shipping costs are exorbitant? Can I also get the requirements you like for shipping extracted DNA to you for sanger sequencing and the shipping address for mailing the samples?
