******************BRAND NAME OR EQUAL*****************************

A. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW

Traditional next generation sequencing of whole genomes is done in short 75bp – 150bp fragments. However, these short reads are not optimal for discovering large scale genomic changes, as they will not align to the reference genome using established pipelines. To ascertain whether large scale genomic rearrangements have occurred, an instrument with long read length sequencing technology is required. The Division of Applied Veterinary Research at the Center for Veterinary Medicine’s Office of Applied Science

Oxford NanoPore GridION and purchase of consumables

(CVM/OAS/DAVR) requires an instrument with long read length capability that can sequence a mammalian genome in a cost-effective manner to perform our studies on the safety of gene editing technologies in food and drug producing animals. In addition, the Division of Emerging Technologies at the Center for Veterinary Medicine’s Office of Applied Science (CVM/OAS/DET) needs specific Oxford Nanopore consumables in support of multiple studies.
