A Molecular Biology Facility at the Bodega Marine Laboratory

博德加海洋实验室是由加州大学戴维斯分校运营的一个沿海研究机构。该实验室位于旧金山北部，自1966年以来一直为常驻和访问科学家提供研究设施。詹姆斯·克莱格博士，实验室主任，建议建造一个最先进的分子生物学设施。该设施将支持有机化合物的分离、蛋白质电泳、核酸序列的聚合酶链反应扩增，以及氨基酸、DNA和RNA测序的全部能力。海洋生物学家越来越依赖于分子生物学的研究工具。海洋微生物学家、种群生物学家、系统学家、海洋生态学家和生理学家经常求助于分子技术来识别生物并分析它们的代谢特性。拟议中的设施将促进新的研究合作，并将增加Bodega海洋实验室作为生物学家社区资源的影响。

Bodega Marine Laboratory is a coastal research facility operated by the University of California at Davis. The Lab is located north of San Francisco, and has provided research facilities for resident and visiting scientists since 1966. Dr. James Clegg, Director of the Lab, proposes construction of a state-of-the-art facility for molecular biology. The proposed facility would support isolation of organic compounds, protein electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction amplification of nucleic acid sequences, and full capabilities for amino acid, DNA and RNA sequencing. Marine biologists are becoming increasingly dependent on the tools of molecular biology for their research. Marine microbiologists, population biologists, systematists, marine ecologists, and physiologists regularly turn to molecular techniques to identify organisms and to analyze their metabolic properties. The proposed facility will foster new research collaborations and will increase the Bodega Marine Lab's impact as a community resource among biologists.
