Single cell sequencing (SCS) is revolutionising the life sciences and is essential in enabling JCU to maintain its leadership position in aquaculture, coral reef studies and tropical health. SCS is a central component of ongoing projects at JCU, a number of which are supported by the ARC. The current state of SCS technology dictates that the cell sorting and library preparation component be done locally. At present, the closest such facility is located in Brisbane (1300 km from Townsville by road), which means that not only is life sciences research at JCU severely handicapped by the lack of access to the equipment requested here, but the same is true of all Australian institutions north of the 27th parallel (Brisbane).

单细胞测序（SCS）正在彻底改变生命科学，对于使JCU保持其在水产养殖，珊瑚礁研究和热带健康方面的领导地位至关重要。SCS是JCU正在进行的项目的核心组成部分，其中一些项目得到了ARC的支持。SCS技术的现状决定了细胞分选和文库制备组件在本地完成。目前，最近的此类设施位于布里斯班（距离汤斯维尔1300公里的公路），这意味着不仅JCU的生命科学研究因缺乏这里所需的设备而受到严重阻碍，而且在27度纬线以北（布里斯班）的所有澳大利亚机构也是如此。
