POWRE: Phylogeny and Subfamily Position of the Vernonieae (Cichorioideae, Asteraceae)

项目负责人：Keeley， Sterling机构：university of Hawaii manoa提案：DEB 0075095项目负责人提出了一个项目，以建立Vernonieae的系统发育，与研究菊科亚科和菊科进化的研究人员开展新的合作（史密森尼分子系统学实验室）。她将获得叶绿体和核基因组测序的专业知识。这项工作有四个主要目标：1)获得对叶绿体和细胞核中基因和基因区域测序的技术和方法的培训，从而获得系统发育信息数据；2)构建了具有所有已知地理区域和所有已知谱系代表的Vernonieae的第一个亚部落系统发育；3)参与正在进行的纤毛虫科研究；4)在vernoniee中确定特定的分支，为未来的研究做准备。这个power奖将为PI在过去6年的管理工作后提供一个重振她的研究项目的机会。

PI:Keeley, Sterling INSTITUTION: Univ of Hawaii ManoaPROPOSAL: DEB 0075095The P.I. proposes a project to establish a phylogeny for Vernonieae, develop new collaborations with researchers working on the subfamily Cichorioideae and evolution within the Asteraceae (Smithsonian's Laboratory of Molecular Systematics). She will acquire sequencing expertise for chloroplast and nuclear genomes. There are four main objectives of this work: 1) obtain training in techniques and approaches for sequencing genes and gene regions in the chloroplast and nucleus that lead to phylogenetically informative data; 2) construct the first subtribal phylogeny for the Vernonieae with representative from all known geographical areas and from all known lineages; 3) participate in ongoing studies of the Cichorioideae; and 4) identify specific clades within the Vernonieae for future study. This POWRE award will provide the PI with a chance to reinvigorate her research program after having spent the last 6 years in adminstration.
