Procurement Summary
USDA, Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory, urgently need ultra-long sequencing flow cells and ligation kits for use with their Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION sequencing device to build reference genomes of parasites to understand the evolution and host-pathogen interactions using population and comparative genomics. The acquisition will provide the supplies to generate ultra-long read sequences to de novo alignment of the reference genome. These reference genomes will be used to conduct population genetic structure and outbreak assessment of the foodborne parasites.
