Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY 2002

本行动资助2002年度美国国家科学基金会生物信息学博士后研究奖学金。该奖学金支持生物学与信息、计算、数学和统计科学交叉领域的博士后研究和培训。该研究金的目标是向青年科学家提供培训，为从事生物信息学方面的研究和教育相结合的职业做准备。越来越需要在所有职业级别上进行生物信息学培训，预期通过这些研究金培训的研究员将在培训未来工作人员方面发挥重要作用。这项研究和培训计划的题目是“选择的附带效应对遗传变异的自然水平有多大影响？”群体间的遗传变异，FST，是在多个定位的位点从特定连锁群在美洲沉默。fst值与遗传图谱距离之间的关系用于估计选择在整个基因组中的差异效应，阐明选择对群体遗传结构的总体影响。

This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics for FY2002. The fellowship supports research and training at the postdoctoral level at the intersection of biology and the informational, computational, mathematical, and statistical sciences. The goal of the fellowship is to provide training to a young scientist in preparation for a career in biological informatics in which research and education will be integrated. There is an increasing need for training in biological informatics at all occupational levels, and it is expected that Fellows trained through these fellowships will play important roles in training the future workforce.The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "How much influence do the collateral effects of selection have on natural levels of genetic variation?" Genetic variance among populations, FST, is being measured at multiple mapped loci from specific linkage groups in Silene latifolia. The relationship between FST-values and genetic map distance is used to estimate the differential effects of selection across the genome, elucidating the overall effect of selection on population genetic structure.
