9813433 Relman美国微生物学学会将召开一次跨学科的学术讨论会，由领先的科学家讨论和制定一份全面的分析报告和行动计划。 学术讨论会将汇集来自美国和国外的30-35名科学家，以小组形式进行激烈，高度集中的讨论。 座谈会将侧重于以下方面： 微生物基因组的选择、优先排序、物流和技术方面。 从全基因组序列推断功能。 数据和技术管理、访问、资金和公共政策 专业学会的作用，如美国微生物学会。 将编写一份报告，其中载有对问题的深入分析和对未来行动计划的建议，并分发给科学界、联邦机构、决策者和公众。

9813433Relman The American Academy of Microbiology will convene an interdisciplinary colloquium of leading scientists to deliberate and develop a comprehensive, analytical report, and action plan. The colloquium will bring together 30-35 scientists from the USA and abroad for intense, highly focuses deliberations in small groups. The colloquium will focus on the following:À Selection of microbial genomes, prioritization, logistics and technical aspects.À Inference of function from full genome sequence.À Data and technology management, access, funding, and public policyÀ Role for professional societies, such as the American Society for Microbiology. A report will be prepared containing the in-depth analysis of the issues and recommendations for a future plan of action, and disseminated to the scientific community, to federal agencies, to policy makers, and to the public.
