Genomics

描述(由申请人提供)：伯克利基因组学和计算生物学培训计划在加州大学伯克利分校和附近的劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室提供研究生和研究生培训和研究机会，强调这一快速发展领域的跨学科性质。因此，31名培训教师和20名拟议的受训人员来自不同的系和研究生群体，并与全校指定的重点相关，该重点正式规定了计算生物学和基因组学方面的广泛教育要求。该计划有三个主要推动力；基因组的比较和进化分析；种群水平遗传变异的研究；以及表观遗传和基因调控网络的剖析。学员将利用丰富的培训环境，包括研讨会、务虚会和小组会议，以及从基因组生物学入门到高级方法的各种正式课程。研究培训通常将在第二年结束时开始，之后是实验室轮换、课程作业和初步考试的介绍期。学员的进展通过年度论文审查和与导师的定期会议进行评估。该计划将培训15名博士后学生和5名博士后学者，学习基因组学和计算生物学。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Berkeley Training Program in Genomics and Computational Biology provides graduate and postgraduate training and research opportunities at the University of California, Berkeley and the nearby Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, emphasizing the cross-disciplinary nature of this rapidly advancing field. Accordingly, the 31 training faculty and 20 proposed trainees are drawn from diverse departments and graduate groups, and is associated with a campus-wide Designated Emphasis that formalizes the requirements for a broad education in computational biology and genomics. The program has three principal thrusts; the comparative and evolutionary analysis of genomes; the study of population level genetic variation; and the dissection of epigenetic and gene-regulatory networks. Trainees will take advantage of a rich training environment of seminars, retreats, and group meetings as well as a diverse set of formal course offerings that range from introductory to advanced methods in genomic biology. Research training will typically begin by the end of the second year, following an introductory period of laboratory rotations, coursework, and preliminary examinations. Progress of the trainees is evaluated by annual thesis reviews and regular meetings with mentors. The Program will train 15 predoctoral students and 5 postdoctoral scholars in genomics and computational biology.
