The University of Pennsylvania aims to create a program in Computational Genomics that extends existing Computation Biology and Bioinformatics programs. Currently, three schools at Penn-Arts and Sciences, Engineering and Applied Science, and Medicine- have joined to create a comprehensive program that spans undergraduate training leading to a BS or BE in Computational/Mathematical Biology, a Master's degree in Bioinformatics, a Ph.D. in Computational Biology, and Post-Doctoral training in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. The combined enrollment in all of these programs numbers more than 20 students with a sustained rapid growth in the number and quality of applicants. The program in Computational Genomics will build on the existing programs for doctoral and post-doctoral trainees in Computational Biology, and add a unique new training component-a combined post-doctoral experience and career conversion program for Ph.D. students in biology leading to a Master's of Science and Engineering in Computer and Information Sciences. The career conversion program is especially important for functional genomics because it taps into a large talent pool of skilled biologists who will be essential for understanding the intricacies of biological systems. Penn has an expanding presence in broad areas of genomics from genomic sequence of Arbidopsis thaliana to mRNA transcription expression analysis to polymorphism analysis. The Computational Genomics Program will complement both local efforts in genomics and national efforts in areas such as genome annotation, giving students exposure to a range of training in both computational and experimental genomics.

宾夕法尼亚大学旨在创建一个计算基因组学计划，以扩展现有的计算生物学和生物信息学计划。目前，Penn-Arts and Sciences，工程和应用科学以及医学的三所学校加入了一项综合计划，涵盖了本科培训，导致BS或获得计算/数学生物学，BioInformatics的硕士学位，博士学位。在计算生物学和计算生物学和生物信息学方面的博士后培训中。所有这些计划中的组合入学人数超过20名学生，申请人的数量和质量持续增长。计算基因组学方案将基于计算生物学博士和博士后学员的现有计划，并添加独特的新培训组成部分 - 博士博士学位的博士后经验和职业转换计划的合并。生物学的学生导致了计算机和信息科学领域的科学和工程硕士。职业转化计划对于功能基因组学尤其重要，因为它可以融入熟练的生物学家人才库中，这些人才对理解生物系统的复杂性至关重要。宾夕法尼亚州在基因组学的广泛领域中存在扩展的存在，从arbidopsis thaliana到mRNA转录表达分析到多态性分析。计算基因组学计划将在基因组注释等领域的本地基因组学和国家努力方面进行补充，从而使学生接受计算和实验基因组学的一系列培训。
