CSBR: Living Stocks: San Diego Drosophila Species Stock Center

加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）的果蝇物种储备中心（DSSC）获得了一个奖项，该奖项旨在为研究和教育界提供：1)为当前和未来的研究人员和教育工作者提供一个存储库，以维护和保护标准化的遗传资源；2)进行操纵性实证研究的工具，这是保存材料无法实现的，可以为实际应用提供信息；3)获得相对便宜的教材，让学生参与到国家的课堂中来。DSSC目前保存着225种果蝇的1600多个活体标本。社区对收藏的兴趣是广泛的，包括教育和研究的组成部分。几乎所有的生物研究领域，如遗传学、基因组学、细胞和发育生物学、生理学、神经生物学和行为学、生态学、系统学和进化，都受益于DSSC提供的资源。利用DSSC资源产生的研究成果可分为基础科学（NSF生物科学理事会的一个重要重点）和转化科学（对所有人的福祉有直接和积极影响）。此外，动物储备中心的工作人员利用加州大学圣地亚哥分校现有的基础设施，促进K-12课堂上有关入侵物种、生物多样性、进化和生态学概念的教学。更多信息请访问DSSC网站（https://stockcenter.ucsd.edu/info/welcome.php）。

An award is made to the Drosophila Species Stock Center (DSSC) at the University of California-San Diego (UCSD) to provide the research and education communities with 1) a repository to maintain and secure standardized genetic resources for current and future generations of investigators and educators, 2) tools to perform manipulative empirical studies, not possible with preserved material, to inform practical applications, and 3) access to relatively inexpensive materials for engaging students in the Nation's classrooms. The DSSC currently maintains a diverse collection of over 1600 living specimens from 225 Drosophila species.Community interest in the collection is broad and includes both an education and research component. Virtually all fields of biological inquiry, such as genetics, genomics, cellular and developmental biology, physiology, neurobiology and behavior, ecology, systematics, and evolution, benefit from the resources offered by the DSSC. The research products generated using DSSC stocks can be classified as essential science, an important focus of the NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences, as well as translational science that has a direct and positive impact on the well-being of all people. Furthermore, stock center personnel work with existing infrastructure at UCSD to facilitate the teaching of concepts related to invasive species, biodiversity, evolution, and ecology in K-12 classrooms.
