Real Time PCR instrument for measurements of genetic activity and genotype profiling in fish and shellfish species (39735)

The objective of the proposal is to purchase a QuantStudio 5 system, a Real Time quantitative PCR machine. This instrument will be used to genotype and quantify gene expression in different fish species under various environmental conditions in a cost-effective manner. The QuantStudio 5 will allow validation of high-troughput based genomic and transcriptomic studies in our existing molecular laboratories, thereby supporting molecular investigations at individual and population level in the field of marine ecology, eco-physiology, conservation and aquaculture. This will boost the opportunities of supporting national and international research collaborations as well as student work, in the dynamic intersection between basic and applied science.
