NSF/Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Molecular Evolution for FY 1998

摘要DBI-9803896 Fredericka A. Kaestle 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“太平洋的Y染色体和线粒体DNA变异：史前人口流动的证据”。正在对来自新几内亚和澳大利亚的个人的Y染色体和线粒体DNA标记进行检查，以调查太平洋人口的母系和父系基因流动模式。目前正在对这些流散的时间和性质以及这些人与世界各地其他人口的关系作出估计。

Abstract DBI-9803896 Fredericka A. Kaestle 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 Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA variation in the Pacific: evidence for prehistoric population movements. Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA markers are being examined from individuals from New Guinea and Australia to investigate maternal and paternal patterns of gene flow with regards to the peopling of the Pacific. Estimates are being made of the timing and nature of these diasporas and the relationship of these peoples to other worldwide populations.
