Hi- I am a graduate student in Dr. Kristi Wharton's lab at Brown University
and we are doing P-element transformations in Drosophila.  I have heard
that some people put food coloring in the DNA injection solution in order
to visualize the solution better while injecting.  Has anyone tried this?
If so what kind of dye, what concentration, etc? Is there andy change in
effeciency?  
Thanks- Ongkar Khalsa
