This Major Research Instrumentation award funds the acquisition of a long-read sequencing instrument employing a novel single molecule synthesis data acquisition system to dramatically accelerate genomic sciences at the University of Delaware (UD). A diverse cross section of research disciplines benefit from the acquisition of the sequencer, including: microbiology, soil science, oceanography, plant biology and genomics, animal science and genomics, cell biology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics. The sequencer aids joint research and multiple-investigator projects in several UD research centers and institutes including: the Delaware Environmental Institute, the Center for Environmental Genomics, the Avian Biosciences Center, a new Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, and the Delaware Biotechnology Institute. Thus, the new sequencer directly supports faculty research across four colleges at UD and serves as an available resource for collaborators and researchers at regional institutions, thereby benefitting UD partners in EPSCoR and other programs. In addition, the sequencer is used to advance both graduate and undergraduate education and research, especially student training in genomics and metagenomics. The results of these research and teaching efforts will be broadly disseminated through a dedicated WWW-site, abstracts, and peer reviewed publications, as well as by active participation of students and faculty at professional meetings.

这项重大研究仪器奖资助了一种采用新型单分子合成数据采集系统的长读测序仪器的收购，以大大加速特拉华州大学（UD）的基因组科学。 测序仪的收购使不同学科的研究受益，包括：微生物学、土壤科学、海洋学、植物生物学和基因组学、动物科学和基因组学、细胞生物学、生物化学和生物信息学。 测序仪有助于联合研究和多个研究者项目在几个UD研究中心和研究所，包括：特拉华州环境研究所，环境基因组学中心，鸟类生物科学中心，一个新的生物信息学和计算生物学中心，和特拉华州生物技术研究所。 因此，新的测序仪直接支持UD四所学院的教师研究，并作为区域机构合作者和研究人员的可用资源，从而使EPSCoR和其他项目的UD合作伙伴受益。 此外，测序仪还用于推进研究生和本科生的教育和研究，特别是基因组学和宏基因组学的学生培训。 这些研究和教学工作的结果将通过一个专门的WWW网站，摘要和同行评审的出版物，以及学生和教师在专业会议的积极参与广泛传播。
