This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY 2006. 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 the future workforce. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "The evolutionary genetics of social traits in social insects." Social insects are model systems for social evolution, but their full social complexity has not been incorporated into genetic models. This project uses a honeybee system, integrating extensive genetic and behavior data and developing new evolutionary genetic models, to study the evolutionary importance of the genetic architecture underlying social traits.The training goals are to learn new approaches to: study the molecular genetic basis of traits, develop analytic and simulation evolutionary genetic models, and integrate genomic and gene expression data available for model genetic systems such as the honeybee. This training will help the Fellow achieve his career goals of using social insects to study social evolution.

这项行动为2006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。在所有职业级别上对生物信息学培训的需求日益增加，预计通过这些研究金培训的研究员将在培训未来的劳动力方面发挥重要作用。 该奖学金的研究和培训计划的标题是“社会昆虫社会特征的进化遗传学”。“社会性昆虫是社会进化的模型系统，但它们的全部社会复杂性尚未纳入遗传模型。该项目使用蜜蜂系统，整合广泛的遗传和行为数据，并开发新的进化遗传模型，以研究作为社会特征基础的遗传结构的进化重要性。培训目标是学习新的方法：研究性状的分子遗传基础，开发分析和模拟进化遗传模型，并整合基因组和基因表达数据可用于模型遗传系统，如蜜蜂。这项培训将帮助研究员实现利用社会昆虫研究社会进化的职业目标。
