DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Turning the data collected by the Human Genome Project into knowledge is one of the biggest scientific challenges of the 21st Century. The enormous volume of DNA sequence 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 14 different 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.

描述（由申请人提供）：将人类基因组项目收集的数据变成知识是21世纪最大的科学挑战之一。如今，在没有计算机的情况下，无法访问，操纵或分析的大量DNA序列数据和蛋白质数据。但是，最大的瓶颈涉及软件而不是硬件。尽管目前具有复杂水平，但我们仍然缺乏足够的理论和算法来以速度和精度执行许多基本任务和分子遗传学和遗传流行病学。这将需要一批新一代的科学家在生物学和数学科学中培训，以推动我们国家的基因组议程。很少有大学拥有基础设施和人力资源，可以在UCLA实施基因组学培训计划。这项培训补助金已将大学的四所不同学校和14个不同部门的教师汇集在一起​​，以解决当前科学培训的差距。在2002年至2006年期间，它已经培训了20名基因组分析和解释艺术的专业学生。
