项目摘要

The UC San Diego Genetics Training Program (GTP) is designed to provide advanced training in Genetics and Genomics to predoctoral students beginning in their second graduate year. While several degree-granting umbrella programs at UCSD include genetics or genomics research, GTP uniquely integrates trainees across programs and builds both lateral and vertical cohorts of PhD students interested in the history, practice and future applications of Genetics and Genomics in life and health sciences. Mentor laboratories encompass a broad range of basic science and clinical/translation research and span a range of organisms–including microbial, plant, experimental animal, and human subjects–but share a focus on genetic, genomic, and epigenomic mechanisms and approaches. Students who have committed to thesis research in one of these laboratories enter the GTP for advanced training activities after the first year and may be selected for support by this training grant. The GTP curriculum cuts across traditional graduate programs in participating schools, divisions and departments. GTP students take graduate core courses in Genetics and Quantitative Methods and participate in a weekly journal club during graduate years 2-4. The journal club includes rotating topics in contemporary genetics or classic, landmark papers relevant to the intellectual development of the field. GTP students select quarterly topics in consultation with participating faculty. Journal club papers and discussion are used to assess methods and logic, experimental design, data analysis, and responsible conduct of research in additional to the quarterly research topics around which they are selected. A program- wide annual retreat, organized by year 5 students and an Associate Director, includes invited outside keynote speakers and research presentations by program faculty and students. GTP has 30-40 students in training at any one time, for whom we are requesting 16 training grant slots to support 8 students per class year for two years each. Intended and realized trainee outcomes are fulfilling scientific careers in academic, government, and private industry.

加州大学圣地亚哥分校遗传学培训计划 (GTP) 旨在提供先进的为博士前学生提供遗传学和基因组学培训加州大学圣地亚哥分校的几个授予学位的伞式课程包括遗传学或基因组学研究，GTP 独特地将受训者跨项目和建立对历史、实践感兴趣的横向和纵向博士生群体以及遗传学和基因组学在生命和健康科学中的未来应用。实验室涵盖广泛的基础科学和临床/转化研究涵盖一系列生物体——包括微生物、植物、实验动物和人类受试者——但共同关注遗传、基因组和表观基因组机制和方法致力于其中之一的论文研究的学生。实验室在第一年后进入 GTP 进行高级培训活动，并且可能被选为此次培训补助金的支持对象，GTP 课程跨越传统。参与学校、部门和部门的研究生课程。参加遗传学和定量方法的研究生核心课程并参加研究生 2-4 年级的每周期刊俱乐部期刊俱乐部包括轮流主题。当代遗传学或与知识分子相关的经典、里程碑式论文 GTP 学生选择与该领域的发展协商的季度主题。参与期刊俱乐部论文和讨论的教师用于评估方法。和逻辑、实验设计、数据分析以及负责任的研究行为除了他们所选择的季度研究主题之外，还有一个项目- 由五年级学生和副主任组织的广泛的年度务虚会包括邀请外部主旨演讲者和项目教师的研究报告 GTP 随时有 30-40 名学生在接受培训，我们就是为他们服务的。申请 16 个培训补助金名额，每学年支持 8 名学生，为期两年。预期和实现的学员成果是在学术、政府和私营企业。
