Dear Sir/Madam,

I am interested in getting a sample of puffer fish (Fugu
rubripes) tissue or DNA for molecular biological analysis.
There have been reports that the genome of this fish is much
less complex than humans and may be useful for positional
cloning of human genes.  Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lee Burns
