DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This request is for funds to purchase a nucleic acid extraction system consisting of an AutoGenFlex Star automated DNA isolation system and the AutoGen Quick-Gene 810 RNA isolation unit. The instruments will be housed, managed, and maintained by the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) within the IndianaCTSI Specimen Storage Facility. Biobanking has become an integral part of translational research. The rapid developments in high throughput sequencing along with novel bioinformatic analytical tools has led to an increase in the number of investigators performing novel genetic analysis. With this increase in analytical capacity, the limiting step has become the collection and isolation of nucleic acids. The equipment will facilitate health research for the CTSI member institutions: Indiana University (IU), Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame. All three members of the Indiana CTSI will share a common state-of-the-art repository that was built, in part, through a NCRR construction grant (C06-RR020128-01, 09/30/04 - 09/29/08, R.S. Fife, PI, K. Cornetta, Co-I). The facility will be housed at the IU School of Medicine. In addition to supporting individual investigators, the IU Simon Cancer Center (2P30CA082709), the National Cell Repository for Alzheimer Disease (5U24AG021886; PI: T. Foroud), the National Gene Vector Biorepository (P40 RR024928; PI K. Cornetta), and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center work closely with the Indiana CTSI repository efforts. As a result, the instrument system will have an impact on a much larger group of NIH funded investigators than those located in Indiana. The facility will serve as a recharge center for users and the service contract and reagent costs will be included in user fees. The CTSI will provide support for a technician dedicated to repository activities including DNA processing and equipment maintenance. By developing a common facility, the Indiana CTSI will facilitate sample collection and processing, promote sharing of samples, and assure compliance with international biobanking standards. The equipment requested in this proposal will improve consistency of biospecimens, increase capacity, and free up technician time for analytical work. Furthermore, the diverse group of investigators who will utilize this equipment will ensure the investment will facilitate basic and clinical research in almost every area of medicine. PROJECT NARRATIVE: Understanding the genetic basis of disease continues to foster the development of new treatments for both common and rare diseases. Automated extraction of DNA can facilitates genetic analysis, a benefit that will positively affect almost every area of clinical medicine and the capacity to provide RNA will allow Indiana investigators to pursue this rapidly expanding field. The equipment requested will improve the research for R01 funded investigators, national biobanking efforts, and Indiana CTSI investigators engaged in basic and clinical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请用于购买由AutoGenFlex Star自动DNA分离系统和AutoGen Quick-Gene 810 RNA分离单元组成的核酸提取系统。这些仪器将由印第安纳州临床和转化科学研究所（CTSI）在印第安纳州actsi标本存储设施内进行安置、管理和维护。生物银行已成为转化研究的重要组成部分。高通量测序和新型生物信息学分析工具的快速发展导致了进行新型遗传分析的研究人员数量的增加。随着分析能力的提高，限制步骤已成为核酸的收集和分离。该设备将促进CTSI成员机构的健康研究：印第安纳大学（IU），普渡大学和圣母大学。印第安纳CTSI的所有三个成员将共享一个共同的最先进的储存库，该储存库部分是通过NCRR建设拨款（c06 - rr020128 - 01,09 /30/04 - 09/29/08， R.S. Fife， PI， K. Cornetta, Co-I）建造的。该设施将设在印第安纳大学医学院。除了支持个人研究人员外，印第安纳大学西蒙癌症中心（2P30CA082709）、国家阿尔茨海默病细胞库（5U24AG021886; PI: T. Foroud）、国家基因载体生物库（P40 RR024928; PI K. Cornetta）和印第安纳大学西蒙癌症中心的苏珊G.科曼治疗组织库与印第安纳州CTSI存储库密切合作。因此，该仪器系统将对NIH资助的研究人员产生比位于印第安纳州的研究人员大得多的影响。该设施将作为用户的充值中心，服务合同和试剂费用将包含在用户费用中。CTSI将为一名专门从事存储库活动的技术人员提供支持，包括DNA处理和设备维护。通过建立一个共同的设施，印第安纳CTSI将促进样本收集和处理，促进样本共享，并确保符合国际生物库标准。本提案中要求的设备将提高生物标本的一致性，增加容量，并为技术人员腾出分析工作的时间。此外，使用这些设备的不同研究人员将确保投资将促进几乎每个医学领域的基础和临床研究。
