FASEB Summer Research Conference on "Chromatin and Transcription to be held on July 7-12, 2001, at the Conference Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado.

这笔赠款将为FASEB第六届夏季研究会议“染色质和转录”提供部分支持，该会议将于2001年7月7日至12日在科罗拉多斯诺马斯村的会议中心举行。 这个非常成功的一系列会议的目标是促进研究DNA模板化过程的研究人员与研究染色质结构和组织的个人之间的互动。 这些学科正在以快速的步伐共同发展，并为基础生物科学提供了许多新的信息。会议的中心议题是染色质和转录之间的关系。染色质的调控影响其他重要的生物学领域;例如，染色质与核结构、染色体组织和细胞周期之间存在重要联系，特别是与最近发现的组蛋白修饰有关。 此外，与遗传疾病相关的基因组稳定性和不稳定性问题将在发育/表观遗传调节会议上讨论。2001年会议的时间和地点非常适合就这些迅速发展的领域的数据进行富有成效的交互式讨论。 NSF的支持将用于帮助新的和年轻的研究人员参加会议，并以口头形式介绍他们的结果。

This grant will provide partial support for the sixth consecutive FASEB Summer Research Conference on "Chromatin and Transcription," to be held on July 7-12, 2001, at the Conference Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado. The goal of this highly successful series of meetings is to foster interactions between researchers who study DNA-templated processes with individuals who study chromatin structure and organization. These disciplines are moving together at a rapid pace and are providing much new information for the basic biological sciences. The meeting's central topic is the relationship between chromatin and transcription. The regulation of chromatin impacts other critical biological areas; for instance, there are important links between chromatin and nuclear structure, chromosome organization, and the cell cycle, particularly relating to recent discoveries about histone modification. Moreover, questions of genomic stability and instability, which are relevant to genetic disease, will be addressed in a session on developmental/epigenetic regulation. The timing and location of the 2001 conference are ideal for productive and interactive discussions about data in these rapidly evolving areas. NSF support will be used to help new and young investigators to attend the meeting and present their results in an oral format.
