FASEB Conference on Ciliate Molecular Biology on July 6-11, 1997 in Copper Mountain, CO

9722054价格部分支持请求“第七届国际纤毛虫分子生物学”。 这次会议将于1997年7月6日至11日在科罗拉多铜山举行。 这次会议的目的是汇集研究人员谁是采用分子技术，以研究不同的生物学问题，使用纤毛原生动物作为模型系统。 近年来，许多年轻的研究人员选择在实验室中使用纤毛原生动物。 这种新的兴趣直接反映了纤毛虫的重要发现;例如。自剪接RNA、端粒酶、端粒结构、广泛的DNA重排、遗传密码的不寻常使用和行为突变。 纤毛虫在研究生物学难题方面的巨大价值源于其独特的地理结构和生活史。 然而，这些不寻常的特征使得研究人员不仅要参加自己研究领域的会议（例如，DNA复制、信号转导等）而且还可以在会议上分享他们实验系统的分子生物学信息。 纤毛虫分子生物学会议填补了这个关键的利基。 据介绍，本次会议将邀请国内外170多名科学家参加，其中研究生、博士后占多数。 会议主席和发言人是根据其工作质量挑选的，其中许多人是女性或初级调查员。 ***

9722054 Price Partial support is requested for the "Seventh International on Ciliate Molecular Biology". This meeting will be held as a FASEB Conference at Copper Mountain Colorado, July 6-11, 1997. The meeting is intended to bring together researchers who are employing molecular techniques to investigate diverse biological problems using ciliated protozoa as a model system. In recent years, an invigorating number of young researchers have chosen to use ciliated protozoa in the labs. This renewed interest directly reflects the important discoveries that have been with ciliates; eg. self-splicing RNA, telomerase, telomere structure, extensive DNA rearrangements, unusual use of the genetic code and behavioral mutants. The great value of ciliates for studying difficult biological problems stems from their unusual geomic organization and life cycle. However, these same unusual features make it extremely important for researchers to attend not only meetings in their own research area (eg. DNA replication, signal transduction, etc.) but also meetings where they can share information about the molecular biology of their experimental system. The Ciliate Molecular Biology Meeting fills this critical niche. Approximately 170 foreign and domestic scientists will attend the meeting and many of the conferees will be graduate students or postdocs. The session chairs and speakers have been chosen based on the quality of their work and many are either female or junior investigators. ***
