NSF/Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Molecular Evolution for FY 1997

摘要DBI 9750015丹尼尔·奥本海默这一行动为美国国家科学基金会/阿尔弗雷德·P·斯隆1997年分子进化博士后研究奖学金提供了资金。这些奖学金支持在有机体进化变化和适应的框架内，在分子水平上对生物模式和过程进行理论、比较、计算和/或实验分析的研究。这些研究还包括使用分子数据来解决更广泛的进化问题。每个研究金资助一项研究和培训计划，该计划将在一个赞助实验室进行。该奖学金的研究和培训计划名为“使用杆状病毒载体研究节肢动物节段的进化”。虽然许多发育基因在广泛的节肢动物中的表达模式是已知的，但这些基因的功能尚不清楚。这项研究使用杆状病毒感染广泛的节肢动物来控制许多昆虫和甲壳类物种中特定发育基因的表达。基因功能的进化关系将通过比较不同物种中基因错误表达的影响来建立。

Abstract DBI 9750015 Daniel Oppenheimer This action funds an NSF/Alfred P. Sloan Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Molecular Evolution for 1997. These fellowships support studies involving the theoretical, comparative, computational, and/or experimental analyses of biological patterns and processes at the molecular level within the framework of organismic evolutionary change and adaptation. These studies also include the use of molecular data to address broader evolutionary questions. Each fellowship supports a research and training plan to be carried out in a sponsoring laboratory. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Using baculovirus vectors to study the evolution of segmentation in arthropods." Although expression patterns of many developmental genes in a wide range of arthropods are known, the functions of these genes are not known. This research uses baculoviruses which infect a broad range of arthropods to control the expression of specific developmental genes in many insect and crustacean species. Evolutionary relationships of gene function will be made by comparing effects of gene misexpression in different species.
