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.

DBI-9803896弗雷德里卡·A·凯斯特这一行动为美国国家科学基金会/阿尔弗雷德·P·斯隆1998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题为“太平洋中的Y染色体和线粒体DNA变异：史前人口迁移的证据”。正在检查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，以调查与太平洋人口有关的母方和父方的基因流动模式。正在对这些散居者的时间和性质以及这些民族与世界各地其他人口的关系进行估计。
