Abstract
The provision of automated facilities for DNA sequencing and thermal cycling will allow rapid acquisition of genetic data for gene function studies. The equipment will be used in three current BBSRC-funded projects studying the molecular genetics of plant disease caused by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea. The equipment will also be a critical component of the BBSRC-COGEME project in which the Principal Investigators laboratory is centrally involved. New research will also be undertaken to analyse the expression patterns of M. grisea related-gene sets in specific developmental mutants, during the plant infection process. Collaboration with MWG-BIOTECH will be carried out with establishment of Exeter as a regional training centre for automated sequencing and exchange of expertise in gene analysis and bioinformatics.
