Coordination of the Programme "Deep Metazoan Phylogeny"

优先方案深层后生动物系统发育将资源和专门知识结合起来，以澄清大型后生动物分类群系统发育的重要方面，并推断分子进化过程和表型的历史进化过程。协同效应将大大提高个人训练和科学成就。汇集不同分类群和技术的专家，应使我们能够汇编前所未有的高质量和高数量的数据集。优先方案将促进基因库的发展，并推动建立一个新的形态数据库。过去30年来，系统学和生物多样性研究不仅在德国，而且在全球范围内都遭受了大量人力损失。优先方案将帮助教育新一代熟悉遗传学推理现代工具的科学家。- 这一特殊的优先方案与其他方案的不同之处在于，必须对单个项目进行严格协调。只有当所有数据都能相互联系起来进行最终的全面证据分析时，才能实现这一目标。此外，有必要举办几次讲习班，以培训博士生和比较初步结果。本申请专门用于为方案的协调和无法在单一项目中提供的服务职能提供资金。

The Priority Programme Deep Metazoan Phylogeny combines resources and expertise to clarify important aspects of the phylogeny of large metazoan taxa and do infer processes of molecular evolution and of the historical evolution of phenotypes. Synergistic effects will improve greatly personal training as well as scientific achievements. Bringing together specialists that are experts for different taxa and techniques should enable us to compile a data set of unprecedented high quality and quantity. The Priority Programme will contribute to the growth of gene banks and promote the implementation of a new morphological data bank. Systematics and biodiversity research have suffered a substantial loss of manpower during the past 30 years, not only in Germany but also on a global scale. The Priority Programme will help to educate a new generation of scientist familiar with modern tools of phylogeny inference. - This particular Priority Programme differs from others in the necessity for a strict coordination of single projects. The goal can only be reached when all data can be interlocked for a final total evidence analysis. Furthermore, several workshops are necessary for the training of PhD students and for the comparison of preliminary results. The present application is exclusively for funding the coordination of the Programme and for service functions that cannot be accommodated in single projects.
