Abstract DBI-9803929 Erik Schultes 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 measuring the effects of natural selection on RNA structure. In addition to structural properties imposed by evolutionary modification, evolved RNAs also display properties intrinsic to RNA polymer folding. The structural properties of evolved and random sequences are being compared to provide insight into the mechanisms by which evolution modifies RNA sequence and structure. These studies will begin to resolve features of RNA evolution that are historically contingent from those that are inherent to RNA polymer folding.

摘要DBI-9803929 Erik Schultes 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。 该奖学金的研究和培训计划题为测量自然选择对RNA结构的影响。 除了由进化修饰施加的结构特性之外，进化的RNA还显示RNA聚合物折叠的固有特性。 进化序列和随机序列的结构特性正在进行比较，以提供对进化修饰RNA序列和结构的机制的深入了解。 这些研究将开始解决RNA进化的特征，这些特征在历史上与RNA聚合物折叠所固有的特征是偶然的。
