套磁信写多长为好，我的是不是太长了。。

Dear Professor XXX,
I am an international student from China and I am interested in the computer science PhD program starting in fall 2014 from ISU. I visited your website and found we share some research interests, so I write this email to see if I could have the opportunity to work with you.
After reading you papers, I learned that “gene duplication” is one of your research interests. Instead of constructing phylogenetic trees in context of gene duplication, gain and loss, I looked at some of the substantial aspects of duplicated genes in gene families. In a recent study collaborated with Rice University researchers, I found low but significant correlations between gene duplicability (easiness genes are duplicated and retained, in terms of gene family size) and gene complexity (in terms of the length and number of domains of protein product), these correlations seem to be constant across the 6 species we examined. We also found an increasing trend of correlation between gene duplicability and the connectivity (number of edge in PPI network) of genes in that family that agree with the increase of the genome size across Tree of Life. We proposed a neutral evolutionary explanation to account for this phenomenon. Our study was published in PLoS ONE, you can find it at http://www.plosone.org/article/i ... urnal.pone.0044491.
I am also interested in the fate of non-coding sequences of duplicated genes.In the recent study, I looked at the flanking regions of duplicated genes by Whole Genome Duplication event of fish genomes, and found a strong asymmetry of evolutionary rates between these paralogous non-coding sequences. Interestingly, the closer the non coding sites were to the coding regions, the higher the asymmetry was. We suggested that under the force of positive or negative selection, the non-coding regions where regulatory elements reside experienced strong divergence to obtain different expression patterns along with the sub- or neu- functionalization of the corresponding genes. I finished preparing the manuscript for this study  along with other findings and am about to submit it.
I obtained my Bachelor’s degree of software engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology, Weihai, China, whose computer science program is ranked top 100 worldwide. I received my MS in Bioinformatics in Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan. I have strong computer science background and am well trained in the field of Bioinformatics. I am comfortable programming with Perl, C++, Java etc.
I also have a personal website at XXXXXX.
I am very interested in your study and will be very happy if I could have the opportunity to work with you. I am looking forward to seeing your reply.

大伙帮忙看看是不是我的套磁信太长了啊。
是主要说对老师的研究的看法呢，还是主要描述自己的研究呢？

too too long....

个人经历放在结尾之后的简历吧

好吧。回复那么快，谢谢。。。
后面的套磁信我就短些了，不深入讲我的研究结果，就说做了什么，论文发表在哪里就好了。。。
个人经历也不写了，反正都放在个人网站上了。

就是嘛~祝好运~

我的和你差不多长呢。。要删的的话删哪些呢？

自己的研究不要说太细吧。讲讲自己和研究和老师的研究的关系就好。
那些哪里毕业的什么的也不用说。
精简到300字以内吧。我觉得。
