MRI: Acquisition of a Phosphorimager for Research in Marine Functional Genomics

这座山已经被授予了一个奖项。在David Towle博士的指导下，荒岛生物实验室购买了一台磷成像仪，用于海洋生物实验室的基因组学研究和教育。该仪器将对研究人员目前捕获DNA分析实验结果的图像的能力进行重大升级。研究项目包括脊椎动物精子形成的调节，鱼鳃的离子交换，以及海胆胚胎发育过程中的基因表达。该实验室每年接待大量来访的科学家和学生，他们将受益于在这个岛屿海洋实验室现场安装磷成像仪。每年，该实验室都会招收NSF资助的本科生研究体验项目的学生，其中包括来自传统上在科学领域代表性不足的群体的很大比例的学生。

An award has been made to the Mt. Desert Island Biological Laboratory under the direction of Dr. David Towle to acquire a phosphorimager for research and education in genomics at the marine biological laboratory. The instrument will provide a significant upgrade to the current capability of the researchers to capture images the results of experiments analyzing DNA. Research projects include regulation of sperm formation in vertebrates, ion exchange in fish gills, and gene expression during the development of sea urchin embryos. The laboratory hosts a large number of visiting scientists and students each year that will benefit from having the phosphorimager on site at this island marine lab. Each year the laboratory hosts students in an NSF-funded program of Research Experiences for Undergraduates, which has included a large percentage of students from groups traditionally underrepresented in science.
