This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of the INBRE Genomics Core is to provide high-throughput DNA analysis capability for all Nevada researchers at competitive prices. The goal is to stimulate genomics research and research utilizing genomics technologies in Nevada. The Nevada Genomics Center is a state-wide core facility that is located at the University of Nevada, Reno (www.ag.unr.edu/genomics). The facility provides DNA sequencing, genotyping, and Affymetrix DNA chip analysis on a subsidized fee-for-service basis for Nevada researchers. There are now 4 full-time employees at the Reno Genomics Center. The INBRE award pays only one salary. All other costs are paid through re-charge activity. The UNLV Genomics Center was funded with infrastructure awards through BRIN and NSF EPSoR with the goal of facilitating new lines of research and improving current research programs. The UNLV Genomics Center is not yet a service facility but is instead a shared instrumentation laboratory. Through the INBRE, we intend to develop the UNLV facility in concert with the Reno facility. The objective is for INBRE to provide a technician who will help the core to function as an open service facility that will support research for UNLV and NVCI faculty.
