The Basic Science Scholars (BASS) Program is a rigorous, interdisciplinary, research-based program that integrates molecular genetics and computer science. Its purpose is to provide participating scholars with the scientific foundation, academic support and intensive mentoring that will promote their entry into, and completion of, doctoral programs in the basic sciences. BASS Scholars spend two consecutive years (Junior and Senior years) in the program undertaking research projects concomitant with their baccalaureate degree courses. Scholars must be full-time (minimally 12 credits) undergraduate science majors at Boston University or any other accredited undergraduate institution in the Boston area. Scholars will be paid a stipend for the duration of their participation in the program. Scholars undertake research that integrates molecular human genetics and computer science components. The genetics component of the BASS Program focuses on linking African-Americans and Caribbean blacks to their ancestral ethnic groups in Africa via Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA analysis (see http://www.bumc.bu.edu/rootsproject). The computer-science component entails the development of new computer technologies and methodologies that allow the rapid genetic analysis of the human DNA data collected. Applicants must be rising Juniors upon entry into the BASS program. For complete application and program information, please contact: Dr. Bruce Jackson: [e-mail] or Dr. Roscoe Giles: [e-mail].

基础科学学者（BASS）计划是一个严格的，跨学科的，以研究为基础的计划，整合了分子遗传学和计算机科学。其目的是为参与学者提供科学基础，学术支持和密集的指导，以促进他们进入并完成基础科学博士课程。BASS学者连续两年（大三和大四）在该计划进行研究项目伴随着他们的学士学位课程。学者必须是波士顿大学或波士顿地区任何其他经认可的本科院校的全日制（至少12学分）本科科学专业。学者将在参与该计划期间获得津贴。学者们进行的研究，整合分子人类遗传学和计算机科学的组成部分。BASS方案的遗传学部分侧重于通过Y染色体和线粒体DNA分析将非洲裔美国人和加勒比黑人与其祖先在非洲的族裔群体联系起来（见http：//www.bumc.bu.edu/rootsproject）。计算机科学部分需要开发新的计算机技术和方法，以便对收集的人类DNA数据进行快速遗传分析。申请人必须在进入BASS计划后上升。有关完整的应用程序和程序信息，请联系：布鲁斯杰克逊博士：[e-mail]或罗斯科贾尔斯博士：[e-mail]。
