This project will establish comparative databases and new analytical tools for developmental genes, to test the association between key "body patterning genes" and their hypothesized role in body plan. The student will gain experience in analyzing expression data and DNA sequences, with an emphasis on the use and development of bioinformatic methods, with the option of including a laboratory component. Scholarship begins October 2003. Open to UK residents of any nationality. Please register an expression of interest by email as soon as possible.
