Turning the data collected by the Human Genome Project into knowledge is one of the biggest scientific challenges of the 21 st Century. The enormous volume of DMAsequence data and protein data now collected cannot be accessed, manipulated, or analyzed without computers. However, the greatest bottlenecks involve software rather than hardware. In spite of current levels of sophistication, we still lack adequate theory and algorithms to perform many fundamental tasks in molecular genetics and genetic epidemiology with speed and precision. It will take a new generation of scientists trained in both the biological and mathematical sciences to push forward our nation's genomic agenda. Few universities have the infrastructure and human resources to mount a genomics training program of the scope possible at UCLA. This training grant has brought together faculty from four different schools and 14different departments in the university to address the current gap in scientific training. During the years 2002 to 2006, it has trained 20 predoctoral students in the art of genomic analysis and interpretation.

将人类基因组计划收集的数据转化为知识是人类历史上最大的科学成就之一。 21世纪世纪的挑战大量的DNA序列数据和蛋白质数据 没有计算机就无法访问、操作或分析收集的数据。然而，最伟大的 瓶颈涉及软件而不是硬件。尽管目前的复杂程度，我们仍然缺乏 足够的理论和算法来执行分子遗传学和遗传学的许多基本任务 流行病学的快速和精确。这将需要新一代的科学家在这两个方面的培训， 生物和数学科学来推动我们国家的基因组议程。很少有大学 基础设施和人力资源，以启动基因组学培训计划的范围可能在 加州大学洛杉矶分校这项培训补助金汇集了来自四所不同学校和14个不同的教师 大学各部门的合作，以解决目前在科学培训方面的差距。在2002年至2006年期间， 它已培训了20名基因组分析和解释方面的博士预科生。
