Conference on: Chromosome Replication and Segregation in Yeast, August 5-10,1990, Saxton's River, VT

这项申请是为1990年8月5日至10日在佛蒙特州萨克斯顿河佛蒙特学院举行的由美国实验生物学联合会(FASE B)主办的关于酵母染色体复制和分离的会议提供部分资金。参加会议的科学家将限于155名，他们将根据他们的专业知识和兴趣从申请者中挑选出来，因为他们最有可能有助于创造一次具有启发性和信息量的会议。会议的主题是关于酵母中染色体复制和分离的研究。虽然大多数参与者将使用面包酵母作为实验系统，但使用其他丝状真菌的科学家将被鼓励参与。会议将由九个科学会议组成，每个会议约有9名发言者；此外，还将有一两个下午专门用于海报会议和(或)非正式小组讨论。每届会议大约一半的发言者将被提前邀请；其余的一半将从申请者中挑选。将有三场会议专门讨论DNA复制(顺式元件及其相关因素、酶学和体内来源使用分析)。将有四场会议专门讨论染色体分离(着丝粒及其相关因素、有丝分裂装置、核结构和染色体传递的新突变方法)。最后两次会议将致力于分析细胞周期中染色体复制和分离的协调。这次会议将为对酵母染色体复制和分离感兴趣的科学家填补一个重要的利基市场，允许在这个快速发展的领域的重要时刻进行实验室之间的广泛交流。

This application is for partial funding of a conference on Chromosome Replication and Segregation in Yeast to be held under the auspices of the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) from August 5-10, 1990 at the Vermont Academy, Saxton's River, Vermont. Participation in the meeting will be limited to 155 scientists who will be chosen from applicants on the basis of their expertise and interests as being the most likely to help create a stimulating and informative meeting. The topic of the meeting emphasizes research on the chromosome replication and segregation in yeast. While most participants will use baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as an experimental system, scientists using other filamentous fungi will be encouraged to participate. The conference will consist of nine scientific sessions, each with approximately 9 speakers; in addition, one or two afternoons will be devoted to poster sessions and/ or informal group discussions. Approximately half of the speakers from each session will be invited in advanced; the remaining half will be chosen from the pool of applicants. Three sessions will be devoted to DNA replication (cis elements and their associated factors, enzymology, and in vivo analysis of origin usage). Four sessions will be devoted to chromosome segregation (centromeres and their associated factors, the mitotic apparatus, nuclear architecture and new mutational approaches to chromosome transmission). The last two sessions will be devoted to the analysis of the coordination of chromosome replication and segregation during the cell cycle. This meeting will fill an important niche for scientists interested in yeast chromosome replication and segregation by allowing extensive communication between laboratories at the important time this rapidly developing field.
