We can mail a clutch of full- or half-sibling fertilized stickleback eggs from parental populations of your choice, subject to adult availability. You place an order then we make the cross when a female becomes gravid. You may order multiple clutches.

Order a clutch of eggs, and we can provide the additional service of doing microinjections of cas9-gRNA complexes into single-cell embryos for transgenics. We can work with you to design your guide RNA (at an extra fee), or you can provide the gRNA sequence and we will do the injections and ship the eggs to you. Pricing is for a full clutch of eggs, plus a charge per egg for microinjection. Extra charges apply for cas9 design consultation.

We have a stock of Schistocephalus solidus tapeworm eggs from several lakes on Vancouver Island. We can send eggs, and advise on hatching and infection protocols. Copepods are available to use as a vector to infect stickleback with S.solidus. We also have a supply of Glugea sp. spores, with the caveat that this is a horizontally transmitted fish pathogen that must be carefully quarantined within a fish colony.
