WSU Among First in Nation with Cutting-Edge DNA Sequencer
Washington State University is among the first in the country to acquire a DNA sequencing machine that will let researchers across campus assemble and characterize genomes with dramatically improved speed and accuracy. The technology promises to improve researchers' understanding of the genetic blueprints of plants and animals and open new avenues for fighting diseases and improving the productivity of crops.
