Acquisition of Instrumentation for Population Genomics Research and Education

所要求的仪器，其中包括DNA分析仪和热循环仪，将提供这所大学进行研究的能力，涉及DNA序列，微卫星和SNP的高通量基因分型。 该仪器将通过将该系统与NSF EPSCoR资助的人口基因组学管道连接，集成到一个完整的人口基因组学设施中。 该设施将是阿拉斯加东南部的第一个此类设施。 所需设备的高通量能力将使大量高级人员和学生能够进行涉及遗传学的研究。 该设备将被整合到课程中，这将有助于指导学生进行人口基因组学，帮助培养学生更好地为高科技劳动力，并提供了一个巨大的推动各种新的和正在进行的教师研究项目。

The requested instrumentation, which includes a DNA Analyzer and Thermal Cycler, will provide this university with the ability to conduct research involving high throughput genotyping of DNA sequences, microsatellites, and SNPs. The instrumentation will be integrated into a complete population genomics facility by linking this system with a population genomics pipeline that was funded by NSF EPSCoR. This facility will be the first of its kind in southeast Alaska. The high throughput capabilities of the requested equipment will make it possible for a large number of senior personnel and students to conduct research involving genetics. This equipment will be integrated into courses that will help instruct students in population genomics, help train students better for the high technology workforce, and provide a huge boost to a variety of new and ongoing faculty research projects.
