FWO middle-scale infrastructure I012224N granted!

A large group of Ghent University and external parties, lead by Elfride De Baere, submitted a grant application to the FWO for medium-scale infrastructure. The proposal ThirdGenT: linking third-generation sequencing of (epi)genomes, (epi)transcriptomes and translatomes to life sciences revolutionizes oncology, rare diseases, microbiology, cell and gene technology, developmental and computational biology was granted and will be used to acquire a Revio long-read sequencing system (PacBio, see image). This will allow researchers in and around Ghent to leverage the latest in sequencing technology for scientific advancements.
