Bioinformatics #7 Mystery Cache

The cache is an eppendorf tupe that is not hidden at the published coordinates. Instead they point to what used to be the molecular biology lab at Rudbeckskolan.

This is the seventh cache in a series covering different aspects of bioinformatics. The others are placed in the vicinity of universities with bioinformatics-related research.

This cache is not really about bioinformatics in the normal sense, but rather about molecular biology.

The subject is fitting though, as the cache is placed in memory of the gene technology ("genteknik") program that was earlier available at Rudbecksskolan.

The program was sadly canceled back in 2010, probably (if anyone know the exact reason, please tell me) due to new legislation and low interest from students. Information (in swedish) is still available on the school homepage

To find the coordinates you will have to do understand some theoretical molecular biology. Use the restriction enzyme EcoRV on the following sequences:
