U.S.-France Joint Workshop: Evolutionary Genetics of Marine Bivalves, July 17-24, 1994, La Tremblade, and Sete, France

小行星9314660 该奖项支持美国- 1994年7月17日至24日，在法国的两个地点：La Tremblade和塞特举行海洋双壳类进化遗传学法国讲习班。 组织者是南卡罗来纳州大学的托马斯J.希尔比什、蒙彼利埃大学的弗朗索瓦·博霍姆和法国海洋和海洋科学研究所的安德烈·热拉尔。 讲习班的目的是：（1）使美国研究人员熟悉拉特雷姆布莱德和塞特现有的设施和资源;（2）讨论活遗传资源的编目和建立;（3）探讨合作研究项目的主题。 讨论的具体议题是：活遗传资源;分子遗传资源和与分子技术有关的问题;基因型-环境相互作用;双壳类的繁殖生物学及其在定量遗传分析中的作用。 双壳类是研究进化生物学基本问题的重要模式系统。 它们是高基因流系统的特别好的模型。 该项目汇集了具有互补专业知识的美国和法国调查人员。美国调查人员的优势是显著的。他们将可利用法国在双壳类遗传研究和分子生物学方面的优良设施，并可利用重要的活遗传资源。 ***

9314660 Hilbish This award supports a U.S.-France workshop on the evolutionary genetics of marine bivalves to take place at two locations in France: La Tremblade and Sete, July 17-24, 1994. The organizers are Thomas J. Hilbish, University of South Carolina, Francois Bonhomme, University of Montpellier and Andre Gerard, IFREMER (The French National Institute for Research in Oceans and Marine Sciences). The objectives of the workshop are to: (1) acquaint U.S. researchers with the facilities and resources available at La Tremblade and Sete; (2) discuss the cataloging and establishment of living genetic resources; and (3) explore topics for collaborative research projects. The specific topics for discussion are: living genetic resources; molecular genetic resources and questions related to molecular techniques; genotype-environment interaction; and the breeding biology of bivalves and its role in quantitative genetic analysis. Bivalves are important model systems for the study of fundamental issues in evolutionary biology. They are particularly good models of high gene flow systems. The project brings together U.S. and French investigators of complementary expertise. The advantages to the U.S. investigators are significant. They will have access to excellent French facilities in bivalve genetic research and in molecular biology and to significant living genetic resources. ***
