Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY-2000

这一行动资助了美国国家科学基金会2000年生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。该研究和培训计划是在系统生物学和动物行为领域，标题为“结构化特征的比较方法和数据表示，包括行为、形态和发育中的时间序列”。生物体的许多特征，特别是在行为、形态和发育方面，表现出与其他特征的结构化关系。结构化的例子包括行为和发展中的时间序列以及形态上的整体-部分关系。该项目开发了一种软件，将系统发育信息比较方法应用于结构化关系中的特征。开发这些方法及其基本表示法是整合不同表型数据的重要一步。

This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for 2000.The research and training plan is in the areas of Systematic Biology and Animal Behavior and is entitled "Comparative Methods and Data Representation for Structured Traits, Including Temporal Sequences in Behavior, Morphology and Development". Many traits of organisms, especially in behavior, morphology, and development exhibit structured relationships with other traits. Examples of structuring include temporal sequences in behavior and development and whole-part relationships in morphology. This project develops software to apply phylogenetically informed comparative methods to traits in structured relationships. Developing these methods and their underlying representations is an important step in integrating diverse phenotypic data.
