This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The University of Nevada Las Vegas has been operating the Genomics and Imaging Core laboratories for 5 years. This year the core will see two significant changes. The laboratory will relocate to a new building specifically designed to support science activities and as a result of internal university reorganizations, the core will expand to include high throughput DNA sequencing capabilities. To streamline services and administration, a unified Central Research Services Core was created last year, this new structure is currently functional and working well. This multi-user, fee-for-service facility houses state-of-the-art genomics equipment including: a Bio-Rad iCycler RT-PCR machine, an Amersham multimode imager, and glass slide and Affymetrix microarray platforms. The cytometer is a Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur, and the imaging equipment includes a Zeiss LSM-510 confocal laser scanning microscopy. The core has been funded with infrastructure awards from the NSF (EPS-0132556; $3.38M) and the NIH (2 P20 RR016464) with the goal of facilitating new lines of research and improving research programs. Investigators studying genetic, cellular, molecular, physiological processes in biomedical and evolutionary contexts regularly use the facilities. There arer 25 users and new users being trained on a regular basis, the center is one of the most heavily utilized common use facilities on the UNLV campus. No equivalent facilities exist within several hundred kilometers of UNLV. The core has also strengthened training of postdoctoral, graduate and undergraduate students, improving their competitive ability and maturation as scientists. The facility director and technicians are responsible for (1) maintaining equipment, (2) administering user access, (3) training new users, (4) updating hardware and software, (5) billing and accounting and (6) procurement of additional funds to ensure the facility continues to meet the research community needs. The INBRE award provides funds to support the center's director, technical staff, operating costs and service contracts for major equipment.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 内华达州拉斯维加斯大学的基因组学和成像核心实验室已经运营了5年。 今年的核心将出现两个重大变化。 该实验室将搬迁到一座专门为支持科学活动而设计的新大楼，由于大学内部的重组，核心将扩大到包括高通量DNA测序能力。 为了精简服务和行政，去年成立了一个统一的中央研究服务核心，这个新结构目前运作良好。 这个多用户、收费服务的设施拥有最先进的基因组学设备，包括：Bio-Rad iCycler RT-PCR机、阿默舍姆多模式成像仪、载玻片和Affyssam微阵列平台。 细胞计数器是Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur，成像设备包括Zeiss LSM-510共聚焦激光扫描显微镜。 该核心得到了NSF（EPS-0132556; 338万美元）和NIH（2 P20 RR 016464）的基础设施奖的资助，目的是促进新的研究路线和改进研究计划。 在生物医学和进化背景下研究遗传、细胞、分子、生理过程的研究人员经常使用这些设施。 该中心有25名用户和新用户定期接受培训，是UNLV校园内使用最多的共用设施之一。 在UNLV的几百公里范围内没有类似的设施。 加强博士后、研究生和本科生的培养，提高他们的竞争力和科学家的成熟度。 设施主任和技术人员负责（1）维护设备，（2）管理用户访问，（3）培训新用户，（4）更新硬件和软件，（5）计费和会计，以及（6）采购额外资金，以确保设施继续满足研究界的需求。 INBRE奖提供资金，以支持该中心的主任，技术人员，运营成本和主要设备的服务合同。
