DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposal requests support for fifteen predoctoral and six postdoctoral trainees in a multidisciplinary program in Genomics at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB). We define Genomics broadly as the acquisition and analysis of high-throughput genome-scale data in biology, and the exploitation of the resulting data to solve biomedical problems. The 20 participating faculty at UCB are drawn from nine Departments (Molecular and Cell Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Integrative Biology, Public Health, Nutrition, and Computer Science). Research mentors are also available at the nearby Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), which is home to national centers for microscopy, imaging, supercomputing, and synchrotron radiation. Students can be admitted to the program throughout the Ph.D. programs of any of the participating UCB departments. In addition to rigorous training in their home departments, a wide range of didactic courses are available for training in complementary disciplines to provide trainees with exposure to technology development for Genomics, important biological and biomedical problems that can be attacked by new technologies, and computational approaches to analysis and mining of genomic data. Trainees typically spend three consecutive ten-week periods rotating through different laboratories of their choice selected from a diverse array of research environments at UC Berkeley or at LBNL. The specific multidisciplinary course of study for each trainee will be chosen in consultation with a pair of faculty mentors, one from biology and one from the physical sciences or engineering. Students typically take their oral qualifying exams by the end of the second year, and begin to engage in research projects. In years 3-5 trainees carry out their dissertation research, continue to teach and take advanced courses, and participate in seminars, group meetings, and retreats to expand their skills. Applicants to the participating departments typically have outstanding undergraduate records in the biological, chemical, or physical sciences, or engineering. Admission is based on evaluation of previous scholastic achievement, prior research experience and performance, scores on standardized exams, statement of purpose, and letters of recommendation.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求在加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校（UCB）的多学科基因组学计划中支持15名祖先和六名博士后学员。我们将基因组学广泛定义为生物学中高通量基因组规模数据的获取和分析，以及对所得数据的开发来解决生物医学问题。 UCB的20位参与教师来自九个部门（分子和细胞生物学，物理学，化学，机械工程，综合生物学，公共卫生，营养和计算机科学）。附近的劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室（LBNL）还提供研究导师，该实验室是国家显微镜，成像，超级计算和同步辐射中心的所在地。可以在整个博士学位上录取该计划。任何参与UCB部门的计划。 除了在他们的家庭部门进行严格的培训外，还可以在互补学科的培训中进行多种教学课程，可为受训者提供有关基因组学技术开发，重要的生物学和生物医学问题，这些问题可能会受到新技术的攻击，以及用于基因组数据的分析和采矿的计算方法。受训者通常会连续三个十周的时间旋转，这些期间从加州大学伯克利分校或LBNL的各种研究环境中选择的不同实验室旋转。每个学员的特定多学科学习课程将与一对教师导师协商，一名来自生物学的教师，以及从物理科学或工程学中的一项咨询。学生通常会在第二年结束前参加他们的口头合格考试，并开始从事研究项目。在3 - 5年中，学员进行了论文研究，继续教书和学习高级课程，并参加研讨会，小组会议和务虚会，以扩大他们的技能。 参与部门的申请人通常在生物，化学或物理科学或工程学中都有出色的本科记录。入学是基于对先前学术成就，先前的研究经验和表现，标准化考试，目的声明和推荐信的评估。
