The Microbe Project: A BIOAC Workshop being held in Woods Hole, MA on August 10-11, 2000.

生物空调研讨会的目的将是提供建议，帮助明确NSF在微生物项目中的角色。研讨会将总结与NSF相关的微生物基因组学领域的成就、挑战和机会，提供一些直接的建议(例如，应在NSF的支持下对微生物进行测序的选择标准)，并确定应在未来的研讨会或其他场所更详细地解决的问题(例如，信息学、注释标准、基础设施需求等)。研讨会将于2000年8月10日(全天)至8月11日中午在马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔的美国国家科学院J.Erik Jonsson中心举行。

The purpose of the BIO AC workshop will be to provide advice that will help crystallize NSF's role in The Microbe Project. The workshop will summarize the accomplishments, challenges, and opportunities in the microbial genomics field that are relevant to the NSF, provide some direct advice (such as criteria for selection of microbes that should be sequenced with NSF support), and also identify issues that should be addressed in greater detail in future workshops or other venues (e.g. informatics, standards for annotation, infrastructure needs, etc). The workshop will be held at the J. Erik Jonsson Center of the National Academy of Sciences in Woods Hole, MA from August 10 (all day) until noon on August 11, 2000.
