Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx

描述（由申请人提供）： 项目摘要/摘要Whitehead研究所要求499，968美元购买一个完整的基因组分析仪IIx测序仪包，包括集群站和双端读取模块从Illumina技术。该系统将为负担过重的测序管道提供急需的容量，支持Whitehead研究所的研究人员使用Illumina平台进行各种应用。新系统将与Whitehead研究所基因组技术核心（GTC）的已建立且成功的Illumina测序平台集成。GTC是一个收费服务的核心设施，为整个怀特黑德研究所以及麻省理工学院的实验室和整个大波士顿地区和世界各地的数十个其他实验室提供服务。GTC成立于2002年，已经支持了数百个实验系统的研究项目。Illumina测序技术在各种应用中的快速采用，对测序的需求很快就会超过现有系统的能力。本申请中要求增加的基因组分析仪系统将确保GTC支持的数十个实验室，包括本申请中描述项目的12个NIH资助实验室，将继续获得他们所需的访问和支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary/Abstract The Whitehead Institute requests $499,968 to purchase a complete Genome Analyzer-IIx sequencer package including cluster station and paired-end read module from Illumina technologies. The system will provide critically needed capacity for an overburdened sequencing pipeline that supports researchers at the Whitehead Institute using the Illumina platform for a wide variety of applications. The new system will be integrated with an established and successful Illumina sequencing platform at the Whitehead Institute's Genome Technology Core (GTC). The GTC is a fee-for-service core facility that serves the entire Whitehead Institute as well as labs at MIT and dozens of other labs throughout the greater Boston area and the world. Founded in 2002 the GTC has supported hundreds of research projects in a wide variety of experimental systems. The rapid adoption of Illumina sequencing for a wide variety of applications has created a demand for sequencing that will soon exceed the capacity of the existing systems. The addition of the Genome Analyzer system requested in this application will ensure that the dozens of labs supported by the GTC, including the 12 NIH funded labs describing projects in this application, will continue to get the access and support that they need.
