项目摘要

The UC San Diego Genetics Training Program (GTP) is designed to provide advanced training in Genetics and Genomics to predoctoral students beginning in their second graduate year. While several degree-granting umbrella programs at UCSD include genetics or genomics research, GTP uniquely integrates trainees across programs and builds both lateral and vertical cohorts of PhD students interested in the history, practice and future applications of Genetics and Genomics in life and health sciences. Mentor laboratories encompass a broad range of basic science and clinical/translation research and span a range of organisms–including microbial, plant, experimental animal, and human subjects–but share a focus on genetic, genomic, and epigenomic mechanisms and approaches. Students who have committed to thesis research in one of these laboratories enter the GTP for advanced training activities after the first year and may be selected for support by this training grant. The GTP curriculum cuts across traditional graduate programs in participating schools, divisions and departments. GTP students take graduate core courses in Genetics and Quantitative Methods and participate in a weekly journal club during graduate years 2-4. The journal club includes rotating topics in contemporary genetics or classic, landmark papers relevant to the intellectual development of the field. GTP students select quarterly topics in consultation with participating faculty. Journal club papers and discussion are used to assess methods and logic, experimental design, data analysis, and responsible conduct of research in additional to the quarterly research topics around which they are selected. A program- wide annual retreat, organized by year 5 students and an Associate Director, includes invited outside keynote speakers and research presentations by program faculty and students. GTP has 30-40 students in training at any one time, for whom we are requesting 16 training grant slots to support 8 students per class year for two years each. Intended and realized trainee outcomes are fulfilling scientific careers in academic, government, and private industry.

加州大学圣地亚哥分校遗传学培训计划（GTP）旨在提供高级从第二个学生开始对遗传学和基因组学的培训研究生年。 UCSD的几位授予伞计划包括遗传学或基因组学研究，GTP独特地整合了跨计划的培训，建立对历史感兴趣的博士学位学生的横向和垂直队列以及遗传学和基因组学在生活和健康科学中的未来应用。导师实验室包括广泛的基础科学和临床/翻译研究并跨越一系列生物，包括微生物，植物，实验动物和人类受试者 - 但对遗传，基因组和表观基因组机制有关注和方法。致力于论文研究的学生之一实验室在第一年后进入GTP进行高级培训活动，可能是通过此培训赠款选择支持。 GTP课程跨越传统参与学校，部门和部门的研究生课程。 GTP学生参加遗传学和定量方法的研究生核心课程，并参与毕业年度2-4期间的每周期刊俱乐部。期刊俱乐部包括旋转主题在当代遗传学或经典中，与知识分子相关的地标论文该领域的发展。 GTP学生在咨询时选择季度主题参与教师。期刊俱乐部论文和讨论用于评估方法以及逻辑，实验设计，数据分析和负责任的研究除了选择它们的季度研究主题。一个程序 - 由5年级学生和副主任组织的大规模每年务虚会包括邀请课程教职员工邀请外部主题演讲者和研究演讲学生。 GTP任何一次都有30-40名学生接受培训的学生要求16个培训赠款老虎机，每年两年支持8个学生。预期和实现的学员成果正在实现学术职业，政府和私营企业。
