Progress in our understanding of yeast chromosome structure, and the mechanisms and control of chromosome replication and segregation continues to proceed at a rapid pace. To bring together leading and new scientists that work in this area, The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) will sponsor a research conference on Yeast Chromosome Structure, Replication and Segregation to be held August 19-24, 2000, at Snowmass Village, Colorado. This conference will represent the sixth iteration of what has become the most successful and important meeting of this field. This conference succeeds in several essential areas. First and foremost, the findings presented are always on the "cutting edge", as each of the five previous meetings have upheld a strong tradition of presenting primarily unpublished results. Second, the meeting is attended by most of the leaders in the yeast chromosome transmission field, and in striking contrast to many meetings, Principal Investigators are present and actively participate for the entire meeting. The conference also provides a good balance of students, postdoctoral fellows, junior and senior researchers, with an informal atmosphere that contributes greatly to interactions between younger and older scientists. For students, this serves as an essential aspect of their scientific education, and for Principal Investigators, the conference keeps them abreast of the latest findings and stimulates collaborative efforts. Participation of women and minorities, both as organizers and as session speakers has been excellent for the past five meetings, and remains a strength of this current meeting. Finally, this is the only conference that is specifically devoted to this topic. Therefore, for scientists working on chromosome structure and transmission, this meeting has served as a critical vehicle for the dissemination of important findings and a major source for generating scientific interactions. The objectives for the 2000 meeting are to bring together both leaders in the field as well as new investigators, to continue the extremely high level of excitement and scientific excellence that has characterized the past five conferences.

我们对酵母染色体结构的了解，以及染色体复制和分离的机制和控制继续以快速的速度进行。为了将在这一领域工作的领先科学家和新科学家聚集在一起，美国实验生物学学会联合会(FASE B)将主办一次关于酵母染色体结构、复制和分离的研究会议，会议将于2000年8月19-24日在科罗拉多州斯诺马斯村举行。这次会议将是这一领域最成功和最重要的会议的第六次迭代。这次会议在几个重要领域取得了成功。首先也是最重要的是，提出的调查结果始终是“前沿的”，因为以前的五次会议都坚持主要提出未公布的结果的坚定传统。其次，酵母染色体传递领域的大多数领导者都参加了这次会议，与许多会议形成鲜明对比的是，首席调查人员出席并积极参与了整个会议。会议还为学生、博士后研究员、初级和高级研究人员提供了良好的平衡，营造了一种非正式的氛围，极大地促进了年轻和年长科学家之间的互动。对于学生来说，这是他们科学教育的一个重要方面，而对于首席研究人员来说，会议让他们了解最新的发现，并促进合作努力。妇女和少数群体作为组织者和会议发言人参加会议在过去五次会议中表现出色，并且仍然是本次会议的一个优势。最后，这是唯一专门讨论这一主题的会议。因此，对于致力于染色体结构和传播的科学家来说，这次会议是传播重要发现的关键工具，也是产生科学互动的主要来源。2000年会议的目标是将实地领导人和新的调查人员聚集在一起，继续保持过去五次会议所特有的极高的兴奋和卓越的科学水平。
