PROJECT SUMMARY We propose to establish the UConn/JAX-GM Training Program in Genomic Sciences to train the next generation of genomic Scientists. This program leverages the unique combination of a recent, but thriving relationship between the University of Connecticut Health Center (UConn Health) and Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM) in Farmington, CT. Together UConn and JAX-GM have exceeded the critical mass of faculty specializing in genomic sciences to establish Farmington, CT as one of the leading hubs of excellence in genomic research in the world. For example, our research faculty include leaders of the ENCODE, 1000 Genomes, TCGA, 4D Nucleome, and Microbiome consortium projects. Both JAX and UConn also have outstanding histories of excellence in training. Our institutions provide outstanding facilities to perform genomic research including excellent computational resources, easy access to every DNA and RNA sequencing platform, a stem cell and genome engineering core facility, and a joint UConn/JAX-GM single cell genomics facility. We propose to leverage our expertise and truly unique training environment to educate and mentor pre-doctoral trainees in modern genomic sciences. This training will include didactic courses, seminar series, hands on technical workshops, and attending international conferences in genomics. Trainees will be exposed to both wet and dry genomic research and will be able to both generate and analyze genomic data. Trainees will be given a strong foundation in both the underlying biology of the systems being studied and the computational and statistical methods required to correctly interpret data. Trainees will also be educated about ethical scientific behavior.

项目摘要 我们建议在基因组科学中建立UCONN/JAX-GM培训计划，以训练 下一代基因组科学家。该程序利用了 康涅狄格大学健康中心（UConn）最近但繁荣的关系 康涅狄格州法明顿的Health）和杰克逊基因组医学实验室（JAX-GM）。一起 UCONN和JAX-GM超出了专门从事基因组科学的教职员工的临界质量 为了建立法明顿，康涅狄格州是基因组研究卓越的领先枢纽之一 世界。例如，我们的研究学院包括编码的领导者，1000个基因组，TCGA， 4D核心和微生物组联盟项目。 JAX和UCONN都有出色的 卓越训练历史。我们的机构提供了出色的设施来执行 基因组研究包括出色的计算资源，轻松访问每个DNA和 RNA测序平台，干细胞和基因组工程核心设施以及关节 UCONN/JAX-GM单细胞基因组学设施。我们建议利用我们的专业知识 独特的培训环境，以教育和导师的现代基因组学期学员 科学。这项培训将包括教学课程，研讨会系列，动手技术 讲习班，并参加基因组学国际会议。学员将接触到 湿和干基因组研究都可以生成和分析基因组数据。 学员将在系统的基本生物学中为受训者奠定坚实的基础 进行了研究以及正确解释数据所需的计算和统计方法。 学员还将接受有关道德科学行为的教育。
