Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY-2000

本行动资助2000年美国国家科学基金会生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。研究和培训计划是在系统生物学和动物行为学领域，题为“结构化性状的比较方法和数据表示，包括行为、形态和发育的时间序列”。生物体的许多特征，特别是在行为、形态和发育方面表现出与其他特征的结构关系。结构的例子包括行为和发展中的时间序列以及形态学中的整体-部分关系。本项目开发软件，应用系统发育的比较方法来分析结构化关系中的性状。开发这些方法及其潜在表征是整合不同表型数据的重要一步。

This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for 2000.The research and training plan is in the areas of Systematic Biology and Animal Behavior and is entitled "Comparative Methods and Data Representation for Structured Traits, Including Temporal Sequences in Behavior, Morphology and Development". Many traits of organisms, especially in behavior, morphology, and development exhibit structured relationships with other traits. Examples of structuring include temporal sequences in behavior and development and whole-part relationships in morphology. This project develops software to apply phylogenetically informed comparative methods to traits in structured relationships. Developing these methods and their underlying representations is an important step in integrating diverse phenotypic data.
