Next-generation genetic sequencing is being installed at the North Texas Genome Centre (NTGC) at UT Arlington, enabling researchers to conduct extensive studies of the genetic connections between health and disease. Thanks to the new $1 million tool, which is the only one of its kind in North Texas, faculty and students will be able to more thoroughly examine uncommon genetic variations. This is a crucial first step in gaining new knowledge for the future of healthcare.
As a joint venture between UTA and other universities, medical centres, and corporate partners, I’m thrilled to be able to expand and upgrade the technological capabilities of the North Texas Genome Centre,” said Kate C. Miller, UT Arlington’s vice president for research and innovation. In the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak, the NTGC played a pivotal role. Compared to earlier times, this new technology will enable our experts to do genomics research at less money.In light of UTA’s current faculty recruitment campaign, RISE 100, which aims to hire 40 postdoctoral researchers, 20 to 25 non-tenure-track research faculty, and 100 tenure-track faculty, the renovation to the university’s primary genome lab facility is especially welcome.
