Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biological Informatics for FY-1999

这项行动资助了NSF生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。 该研究和培训计划是在综合植物生物学领域，题为“利用DNA微阵列寻找受环境压力影响的植物的基因表达模式。“DNA微阵列允许在整个基因组规模上观察基因表达模式。 微阵列被用来收集在高水平二氧化碳中生长的拟南芥的表达数据。目前正在对这些数据进行统计分类，并通过为该项目开发的软件确定表达模式。 然后，该软件可以应用于搜索由其他环境压力引起的模式。

This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics. The research and training plan is in the area of integrated plant biology and is entitled, "Using DNA micro-arrays to search for patterns of gene expression in plants subject to environmental stress."DNA micro-arrays allow the observation of gene expression patterns on a whole genome scale. Micro-arrays are being used to collect expression data from Arabidopsis grown in elevated levels of carbon dioxide. This data are being statistically sorted and expression patterns identified by software developed for the project. This software can then be applied to search for patterns caused by other environmental stresses.
