FASEB Conference - Transcriptional Regulation In Cell Growth and Development To Be Held In Snowmass, CO on July 25-30, 1998.

基因通过转录调控是所有生物系统共同的基本过程。转录调控是细胞行为的关键方面，包括增殖、对环境信号的反应、分化和多细胞生物的发育。该奖项为FASEB夏季会议“细胞生长和发育过程中的转录调控”提供部分资金。本次会议的目的是汇集从事研究广泛的转录过程使用不同的方法和生物系统的研究人员。目标是对这一迅速扩大的领域提供深入的看法，以便在具体领域的实验和概念进展能够迅速传播并应用于新的问题。会议的每一届会议都集中讨论基因调控研究关键领域的不同方法。这些课程旨在概述转录激活和抑制的基本机制，染色质结构，基因表达的远程和表观遗传影响，以及它们与环境信号反应，发育和细胞周期控制的生物学关系的最新进展。会议将强调转录调控在正常分化和发育中的重要作用。转录和生物调控机制在广泛的物种（酵母，蠕虫，苍蝇，哺乳动物）将被讨论，以便相似性和差异可以欣赏。会议将于1998年7月25日至30日在科罗拉多州斯诺马斯举行。会议将包括正式的演讲、非正式的海报会议、讨论期，以及与会科学家之间充分的互动机会。与会者将包括主要研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生。会议将对生物学中最基础和最快速发展的领域之一提供最新的和具有成本效益的概述，并有望为进一步的研究产生策略。

Struhl 9813438 Gene regulation through transcription is a fundamental process common to all biological systems. Transcriptional regulation underlies critical aspects of cell behavior including proliferation, response to environmental signals, differentiation, and the development of multicellular organisms. This award provides partial funding for a summer FASEB conference entitled "Transcriptional Regulation During Cell Growth and Development." The intent of this conference is to bring together researchers engaged in studying a broad range of transcriptional processes using different methodologies and biological systems. The goal is to provide an in-depth view of this rapidly expanding field so that experimental and conceptual advances in specific areas can be rapidly disseminated and applied to new problems. Each session of the conference groups together talks that focus on different approaches to key areas of research of gene regulation. The sessions are designed to provide an overview of recent advances in knowledge of fundamental mechanisms of transcriptional activation and repression, chromatin structure, long-range and epigenetic effects on gene expression, and their relationship to the biology of response to environmental signals, development, and cell-cycle control. The conference will underscore the important role that transcriptional regulation plays in normal differentiation and development. Transcriptional and biological regulatory mechanisms across a wide range of species (yeast, worms, flies, mammals) will be discussed so that the similarities and differences can be appreciated. The conference will be held at Snowmass, Colorado, from July 25 through July 30, 1998. The meeting will include formal talks, informal poster sessions, discussion periods, and ample opportunity for interaction among the attending scientists. Attendees will include principal investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. The conference will provide an up-to-date and cost-effective overview o f one of the most fundamental and rapidly moving fields in biology and is expected to generate strategies for further research.
