# Genetic and epigenetic architecture of natural telomere length variation

> **NIH NIH R01** · MARSHALL UNIVERSITY · 2024 · $52,946

## Abstract

INTRODUCTION
This application is for a NIGMS administrative supplement for equipment for the funded R01 grant.
The parental funded grant number: 5R01GM127402-07
FAIN: R01GM127402
Principal investigator: Eugene Shakirov, PhD
Project title: Genetic and epigenetic architecture of natural telomere length variation
This application is directed to purchase the Azure Sapphire FL Phosphor Imager, the next generation of
biomolecular imager. Through the use of laser excitation and photon multiplier tube (PMT) detection, Sapphire
FL is able to scan storage phosphor screens with exceptional dynamic range and image quality. This piece of
equipment is absolutely vital for the success of the project because it has features/capabilities essential for both
aims in our research project. It will substantially speed up our progress while reducing costs in the long run.
