Biology Program Gets Grant for DNA Sequencer
February 12 , 2008
Recently, Our Lady of Holy Cross College has been selected to receive a grant from LI-COR's
Genomics Education Matching Funds program in the amount of $47,652.00 toward the Sequencing and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP®) Package. This package will enable the following research:
Sequencing - DNA Sequencing of single stranded,double stranded, or PCR products. Labeled infrared primers are the primary chemistry for most reactions, with infrared terminators available for special situations (e.g., single pass sequencing of a particular region).
AFLP® - Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP®) genotyping of diploid and/or polyploid organisms for biodiversity or mapping research. AFLP does not require knowledge of genomic sequence of the target organism.
