Mammalian Developmental Genetics Workshop, September 8-12, 1992, Bar Harbor, ME

第三届两年一次的哺乳动物发育遗传学讲习班将于1993年9月8日至12日在巴尔港举行。第三次研讨会以1989年和1991年在巴尔港举办的非常成功的研讨会为基础。重点将放在作为模型物种的老鼠上。该计划将包括主题演讲、主题会议和“头脑风暴”会议。主题演讲将提供广泛发展问题的概述；专题讨论会将强调具体的发展问题；而“头脑风暴”会议将强调研究重要但人们知之甚少的发展问题的策略。在第三次研讨会上，主题演讲将集中在控制小鼠发育的基因和人类出生缺陷的遗传学；主题会议将集中在听力和视觉的遗传学，早期发育中的基因表达，遗传控制谱系的确定以及性别决定和配子体发生的遗传控制；“头脑风暴”会议将集中讨论环境损害对发育的影响以及程序性细胞死亡的遗传控制。每个专题会议将以一个60分钟的受邀演讲开始，概述该部分主题的研究问题和进展。在这些概述之后，将有两到三个20分钟的、更狭义的、补充性的演讲。主办单位将透过出席者申请表选出演讲者。出席人数将限制在110人。鼓励研究生和博士后参与。摘要将提供给与会者，但不会发表。鼓励海报展示。

The Third Biennial Mammalian Developmental Genetics Workshop will be held in Bar Harbor, 8-12 September, 1993. This Third Workshop builds on the highly successful workshops held in Bar Harbor in 1989 and 1991. Emphasis will be placed on the mouse as a model species. The program will consist of keynote presentations, topic sessions, and 'brainstorming' sessions. Keynote presentations will provide an overview of broad developmental questions; topic sessions will emphasize specific developmental problems; and 'brainstorming' meetings will emphasize strategies for studying important but poorly understood developmental problems. For the Third Workshop, the keynote presentations will focus on genes that control mouse development and on the genetics of human birth defects; topic sessions will focus on the genetics of hearing and vision, gene expression in early development, the genetic control lineage determination and the genetic control of sex determination and gametogenesis; and 'brainstorming' sessions will focus on the developmental impact of environmental insults and on the genetic control of programmed cell death. Each topic session will begin with an invited 60 minute presentation providing an overview of the research problems and progress for the subject of that section. These overviews will be followed by two or three 20 minute, more narrowly focused, complementary presentations. Presentors will be selected by the Organizers form attendee applications. Attendance will be limited to 110. Participation of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows is encouraged. Abstracts will be provided to attendees but will not be published. Poster presentations are encouraged.
