International Research Fellow Awards Program: Molecular andGenomic Evolution of Obligately Parthenogenetic Aphids

9600300 Normark 国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该项目的奖项提供了联合研究以及使用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件的机会。 该奖项将支持 Benjamin Normark 博士与 Roger L. Blackman 博士在英国伦敦自然历史博物馆进行为期 12 个月的博士后研究访问。 诺马克博士和布莱克曼博士将对专性单性生殖蚜虫的分子和基因组进化进行一项研究计划，重点关注特拉米尼部落。 这项工作将建立在 Normark 博士正在进行的 Tramini 蚜虫族分子进化研究以及 Blackman 博士正在进行的 Tramini 和其他蚜虫细胞遗传学研究的基础上。 一个中心目标是综合分子生物学和细胞遗传学技术，以全面了解无性状态下蚜虫基因组的进化。 他们将重点关注特拉马穴居人复合体及其所属的特拉米尼部落。 ***

9600300 Normark The International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twentyfour months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month postdoctoral research visit by Dr. Benjamin Normark to work with Dr. Roger L. Blackman at the Natural History Museum in London, England. Dr. Normark and Dr. Blackman will conduct a program of research into the molecular and genomic evolution of obligately parthenogenetica aphids, focusing on the tribe Tramini. This work will build on Dr. Normark's ongoing research into the molecular evolution of the aphid tribe Tramini and on Dr. Blackman's ongoing cytogenetic research into Tramini and other aphids. A central goal will be to synthesize molecular-biological and cytogenetic techniques to progress towards an integrated view of the evolution of aphid genomes in the absence of sexuality. They will focus on the Trama troglodytes complex and on the tribe Tramini of which it is part. ***
