Recent advances in molecular biological techniques have not only revolutionized the types of questions being addressed in research laboratories but have also served to unify previously divergent areas of biological research. The aim of this proposal is to develop a core facility for nucleic acid isolation and analysis in the Biology Department at the University of New Mexico. The RIMI grant will provide Biology students and faculty with a unique opportunity to work in an interactive facility that will increase the level of training in the department, increase the interaction among minority and nonminority students in different areas of Biology, and increase out ability to recruit, retain, and train minority students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The five primary investigators have active research programs in fungal molecular genetics, evolution of host parasite interactions, and plant reproductive evolution. Areas of research in the department that will be supported by the facility, in addition to the above, are molecular parasitology, molecular cell biology, bacteriology, molecular evolution and biosystematics of plants and animals, and developmental biology.

分子生物学技术的最新进展不仅 彻底改变了研究中要解决的问题类型 实验室，但也有助于统一以前不同的 生物研究领域。 这项建议的目的是 发展核心设施，用于核酸分离和分析， 新墨西哥州大学生物系。 关于RIMI 赠款将为生物学学生和教师提供一个独特的 有机会在互动设施中工作， 在部门培训的水平，增加互动 在不同地区的少数民族和非少数民族学生中， 生物学，并提高我们的能力，招聘，留住，和培训 少数民族学生在本科和研究生阶段。 五位主要研究者在以下领域开展了积极的研究项目： 真菌分子遗传学，宿主寄生虫相互作用的进化， 和植物生殖进化。 研究领域 该设施将支持的部门，此外， 以上是分子寄生虫学，分子细胞生物学， 细菌学、分子进化和植物生物系统学， 动物和发育生物学。
