Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY-1999

这项行动资助了美国国家科学基金会1999年生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。这项研究和培训计划是在种群生物学领域，标题为“自然选择‘在野外：’使用高密度连锁图谱来检测影响粉红鲑鱼适合性的基因座。‘”它的重点是扩展和开发计算工具，以分析大规模释放和返回粉红鲑鱼(Oncorhynchus Gorbuscha)的遗传研究所产生的大量数据集。来自50个家庭的大约50个基因座(用野生捕获的双亲繁殖)的基因型正在参考高密度连锁图谱进行分析，以确定控制这种具有重要商业价值和生物学意义的滨海物种海洋生存的表型的数量性状基因座(QTL)。

This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for 1999.The research and training plan is in the area of population biology and is entitled "Natural selection 'in the wild:' use of a high-density linkage map to detect loci affecting fitness in pink salmon." It focuses on extending and developing computational tools to analyze an extensive dataset resulting from a large-scale release and return genetic study of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). Genotypes at approximately 50 loci from 50 families (bred using wild-caught parents) are being analyzed with reference to a high-density linkage map to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling phenotypes influencing marine survival in this commercially important and biologically interesting anadromous species.
