Genomics

 描述（由申请人提供）：在基因组学和计算生物学伯克利培训计划提供研究生和研究生的培训和研究机会，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，强调跨学科的性质，这一迅速发展的领域。因此，31名培训教师和拟议的受训人员来自不同的部门和研究生团体，并与校园范围内的指定重点相关联，该重点正式确定了计算生物学和基因组学广泛教育的要求。该计划有三个主要目标：基因组的比较和进化分析;群体水平遗传变异的研究;以及表观遗传和基因调控网络的解剖。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方法到高级方法的各种正式课程。研究培训通常在第二年年底开始开始，之后是实验室轮换、课程作业和初步考试的介绍期。通过年度论文审查和与导师的定期会议评估学员的进展。该计划将在基因组学和计算生物学方面平均每年培养14名博士前学生。

 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 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 an average of 14 predoctoral students per year in genomics and computational biology.
