9615098 Sogin The Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, MA, continues to support a valuable interdisciplinary series of summer workshops in Molecular Evolution for the years 1997 through 1999. The workshops provide training in molecular phylogenetics and evolutionary biology and promote collaborative efforts among molecular, cellular, and developmental biologists, physiologists, systematists, and theoreticians. Leaders in the fields of Molecular Evolution, Population and Systematic Biology, Developmental Biology, and Computational Biology present a lecture series that is integrated with a computer laboratory. During the first phase of each year's workshop, 60 students will attend a two-week lecture and laboratory session; in the second phase, up to 15 students will participate in a one-week special projects session. Topics covered reflect the expertise of the large staff of lecturers and track pioneering developments in the field, but usually include the theory of origins of life, phylogenetic reconstructions from molecular data, macromolecular sequence alignment techniques, current trends in molecular systematics, evolution of developmental pathways, and comparative genomics. In the computer laboratory, high-speed machines running a variety of operating systems are used to test theoretical concepts described in the lecture series. Guided by authors of phylogenetic analyses and designers of computer packages for gene sequence comparisons, the students explore a wide array of analytical techniques for the study of evolutionary phenomena using molecular data. The opportunity to implement concepts described in the lecture series using diverse "state of the art" hardware frees the students from platform restrictions and is a distinguishing feature of this workshop. The special topics session will allow up to 15 students to work on their individual research data sets under the guidance of leaders in the field of molecular evolution, including the two project directors, Drs. Sogin and Davis on. The course is designed for established investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from diverse biological fields, with attention as well to members of the biometrics community and faculty from undergraduate institutions.

小行星9615098 位于马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的海洋生物实验室继续支持1997年至1999年分子进化方面的一系列有价值的跨学科夏季讲习班。这些讲习班提供分子遗传学和进化生物学方面的培训，并促进分子、细胞和发育生物学家、生理学家、系统学家和理论家之间的合作。在分子进化，人口和系统生物学，发育生物学和计算生物学领域的领导者提出了一系列讲座，是与计算机实验室集成。在每年讲习班的第一阶段，60名学生将参加为期两周的讲座和实验室会议;在第二阶段，多达15名学生将参加为期一周的特别项目会议。所涵盖的主题反映了讲师的大量工作人员的专业知识，并跟踪该领域的开拓性发展，但通常包括生命起源理论，分子数据的系统发育重建，大分子序列比对技术，分子系统学的当前趋势，发展途径的演变和比较基因组学。在计算机实验室，运行各种操作系统的高速机器被用来测试系列讲座中描述的理论概念。在系统发育分析的作者和基因序列比较计算机软件包的设计者的指导下，学生们探索了一系列广泛的分析技术，用于使用分子数据研究进化现象。 使用不同的“最先进”硬件实现系列讲座中描述的概念的机会使学生摆脱了平台限制，这是本研讨会的一个显着特点。专题会议将允许多达15名学生在分子进化领域的领导者的指导下进行个人研究数据集的工作，包括两位项目主任，Sogin博士和Davis博士。该课程专为来自不同生物学领域的研究人员，博士后研究员和研究生设计，同时也关注生物识别社区的成员和本科院校的教师。
