For the Spring 2015 class the banana slug genome project was funded by a successful crowd-funding campaign (https://crowdfund.ucsc.edu/project/5424db950920652635292bae). Below is the complete budget for the project, the items are arranged in no particular order. Please note that we owe some things to the donors so after these fees the total budget available to us is $20,156 out of the full $21,443.
