Abstract
The equipment asked for is a new-generation 96-capillary, automated DNA sequencer which would dramatically enhance the throughput (without great increases in staff) of an established and highly successful DNA sequencing facility based in the Department of Biochemistry. This increased throughput will be used to launch specific large-scale de novo sequencing projects, for example 20 different gene clusters encoding entire pathways for biosynthesis of polyketide drugs (70-120 kbp each); and to increase the flexibility and response time in sequencing of samples from a large cohort of researchers across the broad range of biomolecular science in the University of Cambridge.
