Abstract DBI 9750015 Daniel Oppenheimer This action funds an NSF/Alfred P. Sloan Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Molecular Evolution for 1997. These fellowships support studies involving the theoretical, comparative, computational, and/or experimental analyses of biological patterns and processes at the molecular level within the framework of organismic evolutionary change and adaptation. These studies also include the use of molecular data to address broader evolutionary questions. Each fellowship supports a research and training plan to be carried out in a sponsoring laboratory. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Using baculovirus vectors to study the evolution of segmentation in arthropods." Although expression patterns of many developmental genes in a wide range of arthropods are known, the functions of these genes are not known. This research uses baculoviruses which infect a broad range of arthropods to control the expression of specific developmental genes in many insect and crustacean species. Evolutionary relationships of gene function will be made by comparing effects of gene misexpression in different species.

摘要 DBI 9750015 Daniel Oppenheimer 这项行动资助了 1997 年 NSF/Alfred P. Sloan 分子进化博士后研究奖学金。这些奖学金支持涉及分子水平上生物模式和过程的理论、比较、计算和/或实验分析的研究在有机体进化变化和适应的框架内。 这些研究还包括使用分子数据来解决更广泛的进化问题。 每项奖学金都支持在赞助实验室中进行的研究和培训计划。 该奖学金的研究和培训计划的标题是“利用杆状病毒载体研究节肢动物分段的进化”。尽管已知多种节肢动物中许多发育基因的表达模式，但这些基因的功能尚不清楚。 这项研究利用杆状病毒感染多种节肢动物来控制许多昆虫和甲壳类动物特定发育基因的表达。通过比较不同物种中基因错误表达的影响，可以得出基因功能的进化关系。
