Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY-1999

该行动资助了1999年美国国家科学基金会生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。这项研究和培训计划是在种群生物学领域进行的，名为“自然选择”：“利用高密度的连锁图谱来检测影响粉红鲑鱼健康的位点”。它的重点是扩展和开发计算工具来分析粉红色鲑鱼（Oncorhynchus gorbuscha）大规模释放和返回基因研究产生的广泛数据集。参考高密度连锁图谱，对来自50个家族（使用野生捕获的亲本繁殖）的约50个位点的基因型进行了分析，以确定数量性状位点（qtl）控制表型，影响这种具有重要商业价值和生物学意义的洄游物种的海洋生存。

This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for 1999.The research and training plan is in the area of population biology and is entitled "Natural selection 'in the wild:' use of a high-density linkage map to detect loci affecting fitness in pink salmon." It focuses on extending and developing computational tools to analyze an extensive dataset resulting from a large-scale release and return genetic study of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). Genotypes at approximately 50 loci from 50 families (bred using wild-caught parents) are being analyzed with reference to a high-density linkage map to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling phenotypes influencing marine survival in this commercially important and biologically interesting anadromous species.
