The ability to rapidly and cheaply sequence DNA has transformed nearly all disciplines in the life sciences. However, access to sequencing infrastructure is severely limiting at our Institution. The goal of this research tools and infrastructure application is to bring rapid and affordable next-generation DNA sequencing capacity to an underserved research community currently forced to outsource this analysis on a fee-for-service basis. The current equipment deficit we are experiencing has two negative consequences: it decelerates research and increases its real cost.

快速、廉价地测序 DNA 的能力已经改变了生命科学中的几乎所有学科。然而，我们机构对测序基础设施的访问受到严重限制。该研究工具和基础设施应用的目标是为目前被迫以按服务收费的方式外包此分析的服务不足的研究社区提供快速且负担得起的下一代 DNA 测序能力。我们目前遇到的设备短缺有两个负面后果：它减慢了研究速度并增加了其实际成本。
