Twentieth Fungal Genetics Conference, Asilomar, California, March 23-28, Pacific Grove, CA.

这项资助是为了支持学生参加1999年3月23日至28日在加州Asilomar会议中心举行的第二十届真菌遗传学会议。这些学生将与来自世界各地的大约600名科学家和学生一起参加。会议的重点是丝状真菌的分子生物学、遗传学、生物化学和细胞生物学。会议将包括四次全体会议、四次专门针对专门领域的并行讲习班、三次海报会议和非正式讨论。全体会议将讨论的主题包括：基因表达调控（包括全局调控和表观遗传现象）、有性和无性分化、次生代谢和致病性，以及强调细胞器生物发生和运输的细胞生物学。在会议上，特别强调青年科学家和学生的参与，特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的科学家和学生的参与。

This grant is to support the participation of students in the Twentieth Fungal Genetics Conference at the Asilomar Conference Center in Asilomar, California on March 23-28, 1999. The students will participate with approximately 600 scientists and students from around the world. The conference focuses on the molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology of filamentous fungi. The meeting will consist of four plenary sessions, four sessions devoted to concurrent workshops in specialized areas, three poster sessions, and informal discussions. Topics to be covered in plenary sessions are: regulation of gene expression including global regulation and epigenetic phenomena, sexual and asexual differentiation, secondary metabolism, and pathogenicity, and cell biology emphasizing organelle biogenesis and transport. In the meeting, strong emphasis is placed on the participation of young scientists and students, particularly those from underrepresented groups.
