This award provides partial support for the purchase of an automated 16-capillary DNA sequencer, ancillary hardware, and data analysis software to be housed in the Center for Biosystematics and Biological Diversity (CBBD) at Texas A&M University (TAMU). The equipment will allow for high throughput nucleotide sequencing and automated genotyping in support of research projects in molecular phylogenetics, population genetics, biogeography, genetic toxicology, and comparative genomics. Examples of research areas that will benefit from this award include: (1) phylogenetics and population genetics of insects, many of which are pest species; (2) conservation genetics of fragmented and threatened species; (3) molecular based studies of microbial biodiversity in ocean systems; (4) integration of molecular phylogenetics and ecological studies of South American fishes; (5) comparative genomics, molecular phylogenetics, and population genetics of mammalian and avian systems; (6) plant phylogenetics and population genetics; and (7) genetic toxicology of natural populations. This acquisition will enhance traditional graduate and post-graduate research training, as well as research experiences for undergraduates involved in REU and UMEB programs.

该奖项为购买位于德克萨斯农工大学 (TAMU) 生物系统学和生物多样性中心 (CBBD) 的自动化 16 毛细管 DNA 测序仪、辅助硬件和数据分析软件提供部分支持。 该设备将实现高通量核苷酸测序和自动基因分型，以支持分子系统发育学、群体遗传学、生物地理学、遗传毒理学和比较基因组学方面的研究项目。 受益于该奖项的研究领域包括：（1）昆虫的系统发育学和群体遗传学，其中许多是害虫物种； (2) 零散和受威胁物种的保护遗传学； (3) 海洋系统微生物多样性的分子研究； (4) 南美鱼类分子系统发育学与生态学研究的整合； (5) 哺乳动物和鸟类系统的比较基因组学、分子系统发育学和群体遗传学； (6)植物系统发育学和群体遗传学； (7)自然群体的遗传毒理学。 此次收购将增强传统的研究生和研究生研究培训，以及参与 REU 和 UMEB 项目的本科生的研究经验。
