The Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center at The Ohio StateUniversity

9600964该奖项授予俄亥俄州立大学，以重申对拟南芥生物资源中心(ABRC)的支持，该中心是一个收集拟南芥种子和DNA的机构。这些藏品包括大量已知突变体的种子，通过多种方式诱变的植物获得的大量种子，以及类似大量分离的单个基因、基因组文库和信使RNA的克隆DNA拷贝。ABRC会应要求提供样本，收费不高，主要是提供给美国的研究人员，但也会提供给外国的调查人员。通过与密歇根州立大学的分包合同，该合同包括支持进一步开发拟南芥信息管理系统(AIMS)，该系统是一个在线数据库和基于表格的订购系统，便于访问ABRC。近年来，ABRC每年提供超过35,000个种子样本和8,000个DNA样本。由于其作为中央储存库的作用，ABRC在协调国际努力对拟南芥基因组进行测序方面发挥着至关重要的作用。

9600964 Scholl This award to Ohio State University renews support for the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (ABRC), a collection of Arabidopsis thaliana seeds and DNAs. The collection includes seed of a large number of known mutants, large sets of seed obtained from plants mutagenized through several means, and a similarly large variety of isolated individual genes, genomic libraries and cloned DNA copies of messenger RNAs. For a modest fee, the ABRC provides samples of its collection on request, primarily to researchers in the US, but also to investigators in foreign countries. Through a subcontract to Michigan State University, the award includes support for further development of the Arabidopsis Information Management System (AIMS), an online database and forms-based ordering system that facilitates access to the ABRC. In recent years, the ABRC has provided over 35,000 seed samples, and 8000 samples of DNA on an annual basis. Because of its role as a central repository, the ABRC plays a crucial role in the coordinated international effort to sequence the Arabidopsis genome.
