项目摘要

Abstract DBI-9803946 Jeffrey T. Streelman This action funds an NSF/Alfred P. Sloan Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Molecular Evolution for 1998. 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 DNA simple sequence repeats as conduits of evolutionary change. This research seeks to better understand the evolutionary dynamics of repetitive DNA. Using breeding studies, selection experiments and in vivo RNA assays, the hypothesis that microsatellites modify gene expression in cichlid fishes is being tested. Results will be germane to molecular evolutionists as well as those who use simple sequence repeats as neutral markers of paternity, criminal identification and population structure.

摘要 DBI-9803946 Jeffrey T. Streelman 这项行动资助了 1998 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生物模式和过程的理论、比较、计算和/或实验分析的研究。有机体进化变化和适应框架内的分子水平。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题为“DNA简单序列重复作为进化变化的管道”。这项研究旨在更好地了解重复 DNA 的进化动力学。通过育种研究、选择实验和体内 RNA 测定，微卫星改变慈鲷基因表达的假设正在得到检验。结果将与分子进化论者以及那些使用简单序列重复作为亲子关系、犯罪识别和种群结构中性标记的人密切相关。
