MRI: Acquisition of Instrumentation for Sequencing DNA

美国国家科学基金会核磁共振奖资助购买毛细管DNA测序仪，以扩大史蒂文森大学（SU）教师的研究能力。州立大学的教师在发育生物学、遗传学、基因表达和DNA结构与功能等领域进行研究。研究主题包括酵母代谢、法医学、肌肉发育、干细胞分化、DNA修复机制和其他主题。毛细管DNA测序仪通过减少对外部服务提供商的依赖，帮助教师显著加快工作进度。学生直接受益于测序器，因为他们获得了在课堂和独立项目中应用研究技术的经验。研究和教学工作的成果将通过摘要和同行评议的出版物以及学生和教员积极参加专业会议而广泛传播。

This NSF MRI Award funds the acquisition of a capillary DNA sequencer to expand the research capabilities of faculty at Stevenson University (SU). SU faculty conduct research in the fields of developmental biology, genetics, gene expression and DNA structure and function. Topics of study include yeast metabolism, forensics, muscle development, stem cell differentiation, DNA repair mechanisms, and other topics. The capillary DNA sequencer helps faculty to significantly speed progress in their work by reducing reliance on outside service providers. Students directly benefit from having the sequencer because they gain experience in the application of research techniques in classes and independent projects. The results of the research and teaching efforts will be broadly disseminated through abstracts and peer reviewed publications, as well as by active participation of students and faculty at professional meetings.
