Abstract (from grant application):

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant) The Washington University Genome AnalysisTraining Program teaches high-throughput, genome-scale, technologicallyinnovative approaches to problems in molecular biology. The program will beadministered as a focus within the Molecular Genetics Program and theComputational Biology Program of the Division of Biology and BiomedicalSciences. It leverages the strengths of genomics research here at Wash U.,which include the Wash U. Genome Sequencing Center and a highly successfulcomputational biology research environment.We propose to support 6 predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral trainees. Predoctoraltrainees will be supported for a total of two years and postdoctoral traineesfor a total of one year on this training grant, meaning that 3 new predoctoraland 2 new postdoctoral trainees will be appointed each year. We anticipate thatmany of these trainees will have appropriate backgrounds in molecular biology,but little to no serious experience in computational biology/bioinformatics orengineering. The training program is designed to effectively cross trainbiologists in specific and relevant computational, mathematical, andtechnological methods, while working in the context of current biologicalresearch problems.
