FASEB Summer Research Conference: Chromatin and Transcription held on July 5-10, 1997, at the Conference Center in Snowmass Villiage, Colorado.

第四届FASEB“染色质和转录”夏季研究会议将于1997年7月5日至10日在科罗拉多州斯诺马斯村的会议中心举行。这次会议的主要目的是汇集研究转录因子、染色质结构和高阶核组织的研究人员。会议日程及确定的主持人如下：核小体转录调控染色质结构和转录因子3。染色质Sharon Roth和非组蛋白的转录调控发育/表观遗传调控核组织贾斯珀·莱恩DNA复制和沉默Barbara Wakimoto 7。遗传染色质状态Sally Elgin 8。异染色质与位置效应杂色布鲁斯·斯蒂尔曼本次会议的主题是真核生物染色体结构在基本细胞过程功能中的作用。虽然染色质和转录的分析是本次会议的中心主题，但染色质/核结构的功能超出了这个领域。例如，染色质组装是细胞周期的关键步骤，因此，已经包括了一个关于DNA复制和沉默的会议。核结构/定位与基因表达之间也有重要的关系，这些主题以发育/表观遗传调控为代表，包括基因座控制区和边界元件，以及异染色质和位置效应变异，以及核组织。此外，基因组稳定性和不稳定性的问题将在可遗传染色质状态会议上讨论。1997年会议的时间是介绍和讨论这些迅速发展的领域的数据的理想时机。＊＊＊

9604722 Emerson The fourth FASEB Summer Research Conference on "Chromatin and Transcription," will be held on July 5-10, 1997, at the Conference Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado. A primary objective of this meeting is to bring together researchers who study transcription factors, chromatin structure, and higher-order nuclear organization. The program and confirmed session chairpersons are as follows: Session Topic Chairperson 1. Nucleosomal Regulation of Transcription Carl Wu 2. Chromatin Structure and Transcription Factors Gary Felsenfeld 3. Transcriptional Regulation by Chromatin Sharon Roth and non-Histone Proteins 4. Developmental/Epigenetic Regulation Mitzi Kuroda 5. Nuclear Organization Jasper Rine 6. DNA Replication and Silencing Barbara Wakimoto 7. Heritable Chromatin States Sally Elgin 8. Heterochromatin and Position-Effect Variegation Bruce Stillman 9. Chromatin Remodeling Factors Jim Kadonaga The prevalent theme of this meeting is the role of eukaryotic chromosome structure in the function of basic cellular processes. While the analysis of chromatin and transcription is the central topic of this meeting, the function of chromatin/nuclear structure extends beyond this domain. For instance, chromatin assembly is a key step in the cell cycle, and for this reason, a session on DNA Replication and Silencing has been included. There is also an important relation between nuclear structure/localization and gene expression, and these topics are represented by sessions on Developmental/Epigenetic Regulation, which includes locus control regions and boundary elements, as well as Heterochromatin and Position-Effect Variegation, and Nuclear Organization. Moreover, questions of genomic stability and instability will be addressed in a session on Heritable Chromatin States. The timing of the 1997 conference is ideal for the presentation and discussion of data in these rapidly evolving areas. ***
