Abstract DBI-9803946 Jeffrey T. Streelman This action funds an NSF/Alfred P. Sloan Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Molecular Evolution for 1998. 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 DNA simple sequence repeats as conduits of evolutionary change. This research seeks to better understand the evolutionary dynamics of repetitive DNA. Using breeding studies, selection experiments and in vivo RNA assays, the hypothesis that microsatellites modify gene expression in cichlid fishes is being tested. Results will be germane to molecular evolutionists as well as those who use simple sequence repeats as neutral markers of paternity, criminal identification and population structure.

摘要DBI-9803946 Jeffrey T.斯特莱曼 这一行动为1998年NSF/Alfred P. Sloan分子进化博士后研究奖学金提供资金。 这些奖学金支持研究涉及的理论，比较，计算，和/或实验分析的生物模式和过程在分子水平的框架内器官的进化变化和适应。 这些研究还包括使用分子数据来解决更广泛的进化问题。 每项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。 该研究金的研究和培训计划题为DNA简单序列重复作为进化变化的管道。 这项研究旨在更好地了解重复DNA的进化动力学。利用育种研究，选择实验和体内RNA检测，微卫星修饰慈鲷鱼基因表达的假设正在测试中。结果将密切相关的分子进化论者，以及那些谁使用简单的序列重复作为中性标记的亲子关系，犯罪鉴定和人口结构。
