Award Abstract 9977187 Funds will be used to purchase new automated DNA sequencing equipment with improved capabilities and higher throughput for the UNH core facility. This facility processes more than 17,000 samples per year which are submitted by the labs of some 22 faculty from 5 academic departments in the University. Major projects using the equipment include genome mapping of fishes, population genetics of fishes and zooplankton, and cDNA sequencing of vertebrate hormones. Additional studies are focussed on mechanisms of signal transduction in eucaryotic cells, invertebrate models of human leukemia, development of transgenic macroalgae, identification of coral symbionts, studies of marine invertebrate phylogeny, and sequencing of vertebrate visual pigment genes. Studies of gene structure, function, and evolution continue to drive demand for DNA sequencing in our research. New genomic approaches are becoming increasingly prevalent in all areas of biology, and have greatly increased the need for genotyping services at our facility in recent years. The new sequencing equipment will enhance the capability, increase the capacity, reduce the cost, and improve the reliability of sequencing services in the core facility at the University of New Hampshire.

奖励摘要9977187资金将用于购买具有提高功能的新自动化DNA测序设备，并为UNH核心设施提供更高的吞吐量。 该设施每年处理17,000多个样本，这些样本由大学5位学术系的大约22位教师的实验室提交。 使用该设备的主要项目包括鱼类的基因组图，鱼类和浮游动物的种群遗传学以及脊椎动物激素的cDNA测序。 其他研究集中在念珠菌细胞，人白血病的无脊椎动物模型，转基因宏观藻类的发展，珊瑚共生体的鉴定，海洋无脊椎动物系统发育的研究和脊椎动物可视化基因的测序的研究上。基因结构，功能和进化的研究在我们的研究中继续推动对DNA测序的需求。 在生物学的所有领域，新的基因组方法越来越普遍，并且近年来我们的设施大大增加了对基因分型服务的需求。 新的测序设备将增强能力，增加容量，降低成本并提高新罕布什尔大学核心设施的测序服务的可靠性。
