Technologies
New DNA sequencers
Wageningen UR (University & Research centre) and KeyGene started of a joint DNA sequencing facility with so-called second and third generation DNA sequencers with accompanying ICT and bio-informatics infrastructure. The facility is founded thanks to a 1.7 million Euro investment with the financial support of the CAT-AgroFood of Wageningen UR, an initiative of the Dutch government (ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture & Innovation), the Province of Gelderland and Wageningen UR. The facility will be accessible to other parties, such as breeding companies, universities and hospitals and will belong to the top DNA research facilities in Europe.
