This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY2001. The fellowship supports research and training at the postdoctoral level at the intersection of biology and the informational, computational, mathematical, and statistical sciences. The goal of the fellowship is to provide training to a young scientist in preparation for a career in biological informatics in which research and education will be integrated. There is an increasing need for training in biological informatics at all occupational levels, and it is expected that Fellows trained through these fellowships will play important roles in training of the future workforce.The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Estimating global microbial diversity: A bioinformatics approach." Scaling law, probability and combinatorial theory are being used to quantify biodiversity patterns across a wide range of spatial scales and at different levels of phylogenetic resolution. Using computer intensive spatial statistical analyses and simulation modeling, hypotheses are being tested with a microbial genetic database two orders of magnitude larger than any previously reported (~73,000 16S rDNA clones collected over ~ 1 m2 to ~10,000 km2 in Australia, analyzed by RFLP and other sophisticated genetic techniques).

这一行动为2001财政年度的NSF生物信息学博士后研究奖学金提供资金。 该奖学金支持在生物学和信息，计算，数学和统计科学的交叉点博士后水平的研究和培训。该研究金的目标是向一名青年科学家提供培训，为从事研究和教育相结合的生物信息学职业做准备。越来越需要在所有职业级别进行生物信息学培训，预计通过这些研究金培训的研究员将在培训未来的工作人员方面发挥重要作用，该研究金的研究和培训计划题为“估计全球微生物多样性：生物信息学方法。“标度律、概率和组合理论正在被用来量化广泛的空间尺度和不同层次的系统发育分辨率上的生物多样性模式。 使用计算机密集型空间统计分析和模拟建模，正在使用比任何先前报道的大两个数量级的微生物遗传数据库（在澳大利亚收集了约1平方米至约10，000平方公里的约73，000个16S rDNA克隆，通过RFLP和其他复杂的遗传技术进行分析）对假设进行测试。
