The FASEB Conference on Yeast Chromosome Structure, Replication and Segregation on July 23-28, 1994, Santa Cruz, CA.

美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）将于1994年7月23日至28日在圣克鲁斯的加州大学举行关于酵母染色体结构、复制和分离的会议。 会议将包括一个酵母基因组研讨会，以更新国际社会对酵母基因组测序的努力，并讨论这项工作对酵母研究的影响。 鉴于最近在阐明酵母动粒的马达组件方面取得的进展，委员会决定包括一个关于分子马达的特别会议。 其他会议将涵盖核结构，DNA复制，细胞周期控制，端粒和位置效应，导致错误分离的突变，减数分裂染色体分离和有丝分裂纺锤体的组成部分等主题。 美国实验生物学学会联合会将于1994年7月23日至28日在圣克鲁斯的加州大学举行关于酵母染色体结构、复制和分离的会议。 这次会议的主要目的是汇集一小群该领域的顶尖科学家，讨论他们最近的工作和交流思想。 将鼓励少数民族研究人员和年轻科学家以及博士后研究员和研究生参加。有大量的证据表明，从研究酵母中发现的东西与我们对哺乳动物染色体的理解有关。 从酵母到人类，所有真核生物中参与染色体组织和功能的许多成分都是高度保守的。对酵母染色体的一些分子和遗传学研究已经导致在高等生物中发现了类似的基因产物。了解染色体分离的基本机制对于预防人类染色体传递问题至关重要。 非整倍体、基因组重排和其他染色体异常被认为在癌症、自然流产和出生缺陷中起重要作用。 ***

9401595 Fitzerald-Hayes A conference on Yeast Chromosome Structure, Replication and Segregation will be held by the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) July 23-28, 1994 at the University of California at Santa Cruz. The meeting will be include a Yeast Genome Workshop to update the community on the international effort to sequence the yeast genome and to discuss the implications of this work for yeast research. In light of the recent progress made to elucidate the motor components of the yeast kinetochore, the Committee has decided to include a special session on Molecular Motors. Other sessions will cover such topics as nuclear architecture, DNA replication, cell cycle control, telomeres and position effects, mutations that cause missegregation, meiotic chromosome segregation and the components of the mitotic spindle. %%% A conference on Yeast Chromosome Structure, Replications and Segregation will be held by the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) July 23-28, 1994 at the University of California at Santa Cruz. The main objective of this conference is to bring together a small group of leading scientists in the field to discuss their recent work and exchange ideas. The participation of minority researchers and younger scientists as well as postdoctoral fellows and graduate students will be encouraged. There is abundant evidence that what is discovered from studying yeast is relevant to our understanding of mammalian chromosomes. Many of the components that participate in the organization and function of chromosomes are highly conserved among all eucaryotes, from yeast to man. Already, some of the molecular and genetic studies on yeast chromosomes have led to discoveries of similar gene products in higher organisms. Understanding the basic mechanisms of chromosome segregation is essential for the prevention of chromosome transmission problems in humans. Aneuploidy, genome rearrangements and other chromosomal abnormalities are k nown to play important roles in cancer, spontaneous abortion and birth defects. ***
