I've got several Pawns who are very high in Research and have been both assigned to work for Research and Genetics, and they refuse to use the Sequencer and when made priority, they walk up to it for a second then walk away. I've heard this is due to it being similar to a Ground-penetrating scanner, so I put it in conditions that would work with a Ground-penetrating scanner and this did not fix the situation, Pawns would only go near if forced to, do 1% of sequencing then quickly run away.
