An award is made to Brigham Young University to purchase a PacBio Sequel Single-Molecule, Real-time (SMRT) Sequencer-the latest in single-molecule sequencing-to benefit faculty, undergraduate, and graduate student research and education at BYU and BYU-Hawaii, and to implement an outreach program designed to educate underrepresented minorities in science through BYU's deep connection into Polynesian cultures. BYU has one of the most vibrant undergraduate research programs in the world, involving students directly in research early in their education. BYU's undergraduate research program also includes concerted efforts to involve students from underrepresented minorities. Additionally, the BYU program has arranged an exciting collaboration with Pacific Heritage Academy in Salt Lake City to perform sequencing studies on species endemic to their native Hawaii. Having a PacBio Sequel System will make BYU a major SMRT sequencing and educational hub for faculty, graduate, undergraduate, and high school students in the intermountain west region of the United StatesWith new technologies such as the PacBio Sequel System, it is now possible to accomplish what was previously unfeasible. This new technology dramatically improves or enables researchers to: (1) construct more complete genomes, (2) identify large genetic mutations, and (3) resolve unknown aspects of gene expression, amongst many other exciting applications. Researchers across the intermountain west will have easy access to this breakthrough technology to advance genomic understanding from numerous non-model organisms, and to develop needed computational algorithms.

向杨百翰大学颁发了奖励，以购买PACBIO续集单分子，实时（SMRT）Sequencer-最新的单分子序列序列，福利教师，本科生和BYU和BYU-HAWAII的研究生学生研究和教育，并旨在实施一项旨在通过科学界的临时培训培养在POTRECH CONCED CONDICE CONCEPT POTERENCE CONCEPT POTRECH CONCEDS的外展计划。 BYU是世界上最充满活力的本科研究计划之一，在他们的教育初期直接参与研究。 BYU的本科研究计划还包括综合努力，让来自人为不足的少数民族的学生参与。此外，BYU计划还与盐湖城的太平洋遗产学院安排了激动人心的合作，以对其本土夏威夷特有物种进行测序研究。拥有PACBIO续集系统将使BYU成为美国国际山区西部地区的教师，毕业生，本科生和高中生的主要SMRT测序和教育枢纽，如PACBIO Sequel System等新技术，现在可以实现以前无法实现的事情。这项新技术显着改善或使研究人员能够：（1）构建更完整的基因组，（2）确定大型基因突变，以及（3）解决基因表达的未知方面，以及许多其他令人兴奋的应用。整个山间西部的研究人员将轻松访问这项突破性技术，以提高来自众多非模型生物的基因组理解，并开发所需的计算算法。
