Description

Purchase of sequencing equipment. A state of the art Sanger-technology sequencer will be purchased (ABI 3730xl with 96 capillaries) to replace the previous model (ABI3700) operating in IMBG, which has become obsolete because its production, service and consumables ceased. A Sanger technology sequencer such as ABI3730 that produces long reads is indispensable for small to medium scale sequencing and microsatellite genotyping, but it is also perfectly combined with Roche 454-FLX sequencer, recently implemented in IMBG, for finishing genomes by closing gaps in genomes assembled from shotgun sequencing.

Expected cost: 90,000 € for a refurbished system.
