Acquisition of Equipment for a Core Genomics Facility at Ohio University

在Sarah Wyatt博士的指导下，俄亥俄大学获得了一笔拨款，用于购买仪器以增强该大学的核心基因组学设施。此次收购的仪器包括基因分析仪（DNA测序仪）、微阵列读取器和各种其他支持设备，这些设备将用于分子生物学研究和教育。该设施将为该大学四个生物科学系的18名教员提供资源。研究项目包括应激生理学、发育生物学、藻类系统学和进化。这些新仪器将提供生物基因分型、基因和DNA片段测序以及研究多种生物组织中的基因表达的能力。该仪器将在几门课程中使用，并为本科生提供遗传分析的访问工具。新仪器将有利于一些女教员的职业发展，她们占直接受益于核心设施升级的调查人员的三分之一以上。

A grant has been awarded to Ohio University under the direction of Dr. Sarah Wyatt to acquire instrumentation to enhance the Core Genomics Facility at the University. The instruments to be acquired include a genetic analyzer (DNA sequencer), microarray reader, and a variety of other support equipment that will be used in molecular biological research and education. The facility will provide a resource for 18 faculty in four departments of biological sciences at the university. Research projects include stress physiology, development biology, and the systematics and evolution of algae. The new instruments will provide ability to genotype organisms, sequence genes and DNA fragments, and study gene expression in tissues of a variety of organisms. The instrumentation will be used in several courses and provide undergraduate students with access tools for genetic analysis. The new instruments will benefit the career development of a number of women faculty, who make up more than a third of the investigators directly benefiting from the core facilities upgrade.
