Acquisition of Equipment for a Core Genomics Facility at Ohio University

在萨拉·怀亚特博士的指导下，俄亥俄大学获得了一笔赠款，用于购买仪器，以增强该大学的核心基因组学设施。将购买的仪器包括遗传分析仪(DNA测序仪)、微阵列读取器以及将用于分子生物学研究和教育的各种其他辅助设备。该设施将为该大学四个生物科学系的18名教职员工提供资源。研究项目包括胁迫生理学、发育生物学以及藻类的系统学和进化。这些新仪器将提供对生物进行基因分型、对基因和DNA片段进行排序以及研究各种生物组织中的基因表达的能力。该仪器将用于几门课程，并为本科生提供基因分析的工具。新仪器将有利于一些女教职员工的职业发展，她们占调查人员总数的三分之一以上，直接受益于核心设施的升级。

A grant has been awarded to Ohio University under the direction of Dr. Sarah Wyatt to acquire instrumentation to enhance the Core Genomics Facility at the University. The instruments to be acquired include a genetic analyzer (DNA sequencer), microarray reader, and a variety of other support equipment that will be used in molecular biological research and education. The facility will provide a resource for 18 faculty in four departments of biological sciences at the university. Research projects include stress physiology, development biology, and the systematics and evolution of algae. The new instruments will provide ability to genotype organisms, sequence genes and DNA fragments, and study gene expression in tissues of a variety of organisms. The instrumentation will be used in several courses and provide undergraduate students with access tools for genetic analysis. The new instruments will benefit the career development of a number of women faculty, who make up more than a third of the investigators directly benefiting from the core facilities upgrade.
