The principal objective of our program is to train graduate students to function effectively as geneticists, enabling them to apply the rigor of genetic methods to pertinent issues in contemporary biology and medicine. The variety of approaches taken by the training faculty ensures a broad scope of training that encompasses microbial genetics, human and clinical genetics, yeast and plant geneticists, the developmental genetics of dipterans and nematodes, immunogenetics, aging, population genetics, as well as new directions in genomics. The predoctoral trainees supported by this program gain specific expertise from thesis research in one of these subdisciplines while gaining a broader intellectual outlook from formal coursework, first-year research rotations, and journal club. A well-established program of seminars and other forums for exchanges of research findings lends further perspective and provides valuable interaction with postdoctoral fellows, whose research training is also integrated into the program. Access to medical and clinical aspects of genetics derives both from formal coursework and from association with the Division of Medical Genetics in the Department of Medicine. A greater breadth of expertise is afforded the trainees by our affiliation with other units of the University, including the Departments of Botany and Zoology in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Departments of Biochemistry, Pathology, and Pediatrics in the School of Medicine, as well as with the Basic Sciences Division of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

我们计划的主要目标是培训研究生作为遗传学家有效发挥作用，使他们能够将遗传学方法的严谨性应用于当代生物学和医学中有关的问题。培训教师采用的各种方法可确保广泛的训练范围，包括微生物遗传学，人类和临床遗传学，酵母和植物遗传学家，双胞胎和线虫的发育遗传学，免疫遗传学，衰老，衰老，种群遗传学以及新植物学的新方向。由该计划支持的前学会人员从这些子学科之一的论文研究中获得了特定的专业知识，同时从正式的课程，一年级研究轮换和期刊俱乐部获得了更广泛的知识前景。一项良好的研讨会和其他论坛的计划进行了交流的研究结果，可以进一步观点，并与博士后研究员提供了有价值的互动，其研究培训也纳入了该计划。获得遗传学的医学和临床方面的获取既来自正式的课程，也源自医学系的医学遗传学。通过与大学其他部门的隶属关系，包括艺术和科学学院的植物学和动物学系以及医学院的生物化学，病理学和儿科的生物化学，病理学和儿科系，以及与弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心的基本科学司。
