项目摘要

ABSTRACT The annual Short Course on the Genetics of Addiction proposed in this application builds on the successes of the previous iteration of this Course and will provide students with an opportunity to learn about genetic applications and approaches to drug addiction research in humans and model organisms. The methodological instruction includes examples, literature and data sets drawn from studies of addiction-related phenotypes, plenary sessions on major progress in addiction genetics, and discussion sessions in which students each present their work on applications of genetic methods, and discuss general questions provoked by the lectures. Students will leave the course able to design and interpret genetic and genomic studies of addiction as they relate to their specific research question, to locate the opportunities and resources for extrapolation between human genetics and model organisms, and to utilize current online data resources to support their research. These aims will be accomplished annually over the next five years through an intensive five-day course to be offered in late summer at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX) in Bar Harbor, Maine. In 2020, the course will be held September 20-26, with arrivals and a reception on September 20 and departures on September 26. Participants will be chosen for their outstanding research potential in fields relevant to the course and will have the opportunity to interact with a group of prominent computational biologists, bioinformaticists, biologists, and geneticists from JAX and other institutions. A combination of didactic sessions and hands-on training will be offered during the day and informal discussions will be held in the evening. Student enrollment is deliberately kept small (35) to achieve a desirable level of student-faculty interaction. Food and lodging will be provided at the JAX-owned Highseas Conference Center, which creates an atmosphere highly conducive to interactions between students and faculty. A major emphasis will be placed on attracting promising young investigators to participate in this course and to actively promote the inclusion of women and under-represented minorities in an effort to cultivate diversity in the professoriate.

抽象的本申请中提出的成瘾遗传学的年度短期课程以此为基础该课程的先前迭代将为学生提供了解遗传的机会在人类和模型生物中的药物成瘾研究的应用和方法。方法论教学包括从成瘾相关表型的研究中得出的示例，文献和数据集，关于成瘾遗传学的重大进展的全体会议以及每个学生的讨论会议介绍他们在遗传方法的应用上的工作，并讨论讲座引起的一般问题。学生将使课程能够设计和解释成瘾的遗传和基因组研究与他们的特定研究问题有关，以找到推断的机会和资源人类遗传学和模型生物，并利用当前的在线数据资源来支持其研究。这些目标将在接下来的五年中每年通过一门密集的五天课程实现夏末在缅因州巴港的杰克逊实验室（JAX）提供。在2020年，该课程将举行 9月20日至26日，9月20日到达和招待会，并于9月26日出发。将选择参与者在与该课程相关的领域中的杰出研究潜力，并将被选为有机会与一群著名的计算生物学家，生物信息学家，生物学家和来自JAX和其他机构的遗传学家。教学会议和动手培训的结合将是白天提供和非正式讨论将在晚上举行。学生入学是故意的保持小（35）以达到理想的学生 - 教师互动水平。食物和住宿将在 JAX拥有的Highseas会议中心，营造一种极为有利于互动的氛围在学生和教师之间。将重点放在吸引有前途的年轻调查员到参加这项课程，并积极促进妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的包容努力在教授中培养多样性。
