Southeastern Science Policy Colloquium

9507079格罗兹克细菌和噬菌体分子遗传学会议是展示原核生物分子生物学和遗传学一般领域新成果的中心论坛。代表200多个实验室(在美国和国外)的约300名参与者参加了会议；绝大多数人要么发表了简短的演讲，要么张贴了海报。它是学科交叉培养的重要场所，对许多研究生和博士后来说，也是他们有机会发言的第一次大型会议。摘要涵盖范围广泛，包括转录、重组、DNA合成、翻译、发病机制和其他领域的基础工作。虽然具体的学科范围很广，但方法的共性意味着新的概念和技术进步通过参加会议的实验室迅速传播。1995年的会议是特别的，因为它包括一次讨论大肠杆菌基因组计划的会议。这将是基因组测序项目的总结报告和分析如何将序列信息用于基因组结构/功能研究的完美场所。更重要的是，这次会议将提供一个理想的机会，鼓励相关科学界利用这一信息。会议还将包括一次会议，其中一些创立分子生物学领域的科学家将在当时可用技术的背景下讨论该领域的知识根源。生物技术领域建立在细菌及其病毒研究的基础上。冷泉港实验室一直是传播细菌遗传学最新信息的主要地点。本次会议将总结该领域的来龙去脉以及微生物遗传学的最新进展。***

9507079 Grodzicker The meeting on the Molecular Genetics of Bacteria and Phage is a central forum for the presentation of new results in the general area of prokaryotic molecular biology and genetics. Some 300 participants, representing more than 200 laboratories (both in the United States and abroad) attend; the vast majority present either short talks or posters. It is an important venue for the cross fertilization of the discipline; it is also, for many graduate students and postdoctoral fellow, the firs large meeting at which they have an opportunity to speak. The abstracts cover a wide range and include fundamental work on transcription, recombination, DNA synthesis, translation, pathogenesis, and other areas. Although the specific subjects are wide ranging, the commonality of approaches means that new conceptual and technical advances rapidly become disseminated through the attending laboratories. The 1995 meeting is special in that it includes a session dealing with the E. coli genome project. This will be the perfect venue for a summary report of the genome sequencing projects and analyses of how the sequence information can be used in genome structure/function studies. More importantly, this meeting will provide an ideal opportunity to stimulate the use of this information by the relevant scientific community. The meeting will also include a session in which some of the scientist who founded the field of molecular biology will discuss the intellectual roots of the field in the context of the then available technology. %%% The field of biotechnology is founded on research with bacteria and their viruses. The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has been the principal location where the latest information on bacterial genetics is disseminated. This meeting will provide a summary of where the field has come from as well as the latest progress in microbial genetics. ***
