A single molecule real-time DNA sequencing facility

单分子实时DNA测序设施：将建立PacBio SMRT测序设施，用于加速两个机构跨广泛生物学学科的十个具体研究项目。太平洋生物科学公司(PacBio)开发的一种专门的高通量DNA测序技术-单分子实时测序(SMRT)正在给生物学研究带来革命性的变化。SMRT测序使研究人员能够发现DNA和RNA分子中的重要信息，这些信息是其他现代DNA测序方法所遗漏的。预计该设施也将成为更广泛的科学界的关键基础设施资源，帮助解决生物学中的基本问题。

A single molecule real-time DNA sequencing facility: A PacBio SMRT sequencing facility will be established and used to accelerate ten specific research programs across a breadth of biological disciplines at two institutions. A specialised high throughput DNA sequencing technology called Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing developed by Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) is revolutionising biological research. SMRT sequencing allows researchers to discover important information in DNA and RNA molecules that are missed by other modern DNA sequencing approaches. It is expected that this facility will also be a key infrastructure resource for the wider scientific community, helping to address fundamental questions in biology.
