Acquisition of an Automated DNA Sequencer

9221733 Reimer自动DNA测序仪将由夏威夷大学的生物技术-分子生物学仪器和培训设施用于研究，包括运动蛋白动力蛋白编码DNA的表征;线粒体DNA的进化研究;以及果蝇、海洋微生物物种和热带作物的重要遗传元件的表征。 来自该大学几所学校和研究所的生物研究人员将使用该仪器对来自多个来源的特定基因座进行高度重复测序，对特定结构基因进行广泛测序，并对PCR扩增的“微卫星”DNA片段进行表征。自动化DNA测序设备现在可以以与手动方法相当或更高的准确性执行这项单调的任务，并且对人员的要求更低，并且不需要放射性材料。该仪器将以最低的费用为校园内约40个研究小组提供DNA测序服务。

9221733 Reimer Automated DNA sequencer will be used by the Biotechnology- Molecular Biology Instrumentation and Training Facility at the University of Hawaii in studies that will include characterization of the DNA that codes for the motility protein dynein; evolutionary studies on mitochondrial DNA; and characterization of significant genetic elements from Drosophila, marine microbial species, and tropical crop plants. Biological researchers from several schools and research institutes of the University will use the instrument for highly repetitive sequencing of specific loci from multiple sources, for extensive sequencing of specific structural genes, and for characterization of PCR amplified "micro-satellite" DNA fragments. Automated DNA sequencing equipment can now perform this monotonous task with comparable or higher accuracy than manual methods, with lower personnel requirements and without the need for radioactive materials. This instrument will provide access to DNA sequencing services to approximately 40 research groups on campus on a minimal fee basis.
