A grant has been awarded to the University of Missouri under the direction of Dr. Henry Nguyen for partial support of genotyping equipment for plant and animal genomics research. The project will strengthen the existing science and technology infrastructure that fosters multidisciplinary research and educational activities in genomics and biotechnology. The genotyping instruments will support the common research goal of dissecting the genetics of complex traits and translating genomics to improve economically important plant and animal species. The acquisition of these instruments will accelerate progress in the construction of integrated genetic and physical maps and will facilitate genome structure analysis on a scale not currently possible.Students work alongside researchers in organizing, analyzing and interpreting data. Undergraduate interns working with researchers now have for the first time the unique opportunity to use state-of-the-art technology in their own research projects at the cutting-edge that prepares them for future careers and inspire graduate study. The broad range of research expertise in genomics and life sciences and the unusually supportive environment at MU have fostered many collaborative interactions that provide outstanding opportunities for undergraduate and graduate training. This is a gateway for students to pursue projects not otherwise technologically possible or affordable. The instruments will aid researchers by shortening the time needed for the development of crop cultivars and animal genetic stocks vital to the state's and the nation's agricultural systems. Researchers will be able to take research discoveries from the lab to the field.The project will provide insight into the mechanisms underlying complex traits such as human disease, fertility, development and well-being. The results of the on-going research programs at MU also will lead to the development of new germplasm and the improvement of existing genetic stocks which will have a significant impact on U.S. and international agricultural productivity and will help ameliorate the impact of certain agricultural practices on the environment. This instrumentation will place the equipment in an environment where there is an on-going commitment to genomics research, outstanding faculty expertise and a rapidly growing research base in both animal and plant genomics.

在亨利·阮博士的指导下，密苏里州大学获得了一笔赠款，用于部分支持植物和动物基因组学研究的基因分型设备。 该项目将加强现有的科学和技术基础设施，促进基因组学和生物技术方面的多学科研究和教育活动。 基因分型工具将支持解剖复杂性状的遗传学和翻译基因组学以改善经济上重要的植物和动物物种的共同研究目标。 这些仪器的获得将加速遗传和物理图谱的综合构建，并将促进目前无法实现的规模的基因组结构分析。学生与研究人员一起组织，分析和解释数据。 与研究人员一起工作的本科实习生现在第一次有独特的机会在自己的研究项目中使用最先进的技术，为他们未来的职业生涯做好准备，并激发研究生学习。 基因组学和生命科学领域广泛的研究专业知识以及密苏里大学异常支持的环境促进了许多协作互动，为本科生和研究生培训提供了绝佳的机会。 这是一个门户，让学生追求项目，否则技术上不可能或负担得起。 这些仪器将通过缩短对该州和国家农业系统至关重要的作物品种和动物遗传资源的开发所需的时间来帮助研究人员。 研究人员将能够将研究发现从实验室带到现场。该项目将深入了解人类疾病，生育力，发育和福祉等复杂特征的机制。MU正在进行的研究计划的结果也将导致新种质的开发和现有遗传资源的改进，这将对美国和国际农业生产力产生重大影响，并将有助于改善某些农业实践对环境的影响。 这种仪器将把设备放在一个环境中，那里有一个持续的承诺，基因组学研究，优秀的教师专业知识和迅速增长的研究基地，在动物和植物基因组学。
