This NSF MRI Award funds the acquisition of a capillary DNA sequencer to expand the research capabilities of faculty at Stevenson University (SU). SU faculty conduct research in the fields of developmental biology, genetics, gene expression and DNA structure and function. Topics of study include yeast metabolism, forensics, muscle development, stem cell differentiation, DNA repair mechanisms, and other topics. The capillary DNA sequencer helps faculty to significantly speed progress in their work by reducing reliance on outside service providers. Students directly benefit from having the sequencer because they gain experience in the application of research techniques in classes and independent projects. The results of the research and teaching efforts will be broadly disseminated through abstracts and peer reviewed publications, as well as by active participation of students and faculty at professional meetings.

这项NSF MRI奖资助了对毛细管DNA Sequencer的收购，以扩大Stevenson University（SU）教师的研究能力。 SU教师在发育生物学，遗传学，基因表达以及DNA结构和功能领域进行研究。研究主题包括酵母代谢，取证，肌肉发育，干细胞分化，DNA修复机制和其他主题。 毛细管DNA Sequencer通过减少对外部服务提供商的依赖来帮助教师们显着加快其工作进步。 学生直接受益于安排测序师，因为他们会在课堂和独立项目中应用研究技术的经验。研究和教学工作的结果将通过摘要和同行评审的出版物以及学生和教职员工参加专业会议的积极参与来广泛传播。
