Eukaryotic DNA Replication Conference will be held September 5-9, 2001, at the Cold Spring Harbor Lab, Cold Spring Harbor, New York

2001年的“真核DNA复制”两年一度的会议将于2001年9月5日至9日在冷泉港实验室举行。 会议将专门讨论与染色体复制和结构与功能有关的基础研究课题，并将包括细胞周期和生长控制、DNA复制、复制相关基因调控和基因组扩增等领域的重要生物学研究课题。近年来在这一领域取得的迅速进展证明了召开这次会议的必要性。会议将确保在有利于公开、活跃和富有成效的思想交流的气氛中通报和讨论最近的成果。将鼓励年轻的研究人员和女科学家参与。 2001年会议将讨论的领域包括以下方面的研究：（1）病毒染色体的复制，包括SV40、多瘤病毒、巨细胞病毒、疱疹病毒、乳头瘤病毒和EB病毒（2）酵母、果蝇、非洲爪蟾和哺乳动物细胞（3）细胞周期中DNA复制的控制（4）复制起点和端粒等染色体元件的结构和功能（5）细胞周期进程和S期特异性基因表达的控制（6）DNA复制检查点和DNA修复。DNA复制是所有生物体中必不可少的过程。 这次会议将有助于传播目前关于这一重要专题的研究成果，并将促进和推动进一步的进展。美国国家科学基金会提供的财政支持将使学生，博士后研究员和年轻的研究人员参加这一重要会议。

The 2001 meeting of the "Eukaryotic DNA Replication" biennial conference will be held September 5 - 9, 2001, at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The meeting will be devoted to fundamental research topics related to chromosome duplication and structure and function, and will include important topics of biological research in the areas of cell cycle and growth control, DNA replication, replication-associated gene regulation, and genome amplification. The need for this meeting is evidenced by the rapid advances made in this field over recent years. The meeting will ensure that recent results will be communicated and discussed in an atmosphere conducive to the open, lively, and productive exchange of ideas. The participation of younger investigators and women scientists will be encouraged. The areas to be covered by the 2001 meeting will include studies on the following: (1) The replication of virus chromosomes, including SV40, polyomavirus, cytomegalovirus, herpesvirus, papillomaviruses, and Epstein-Barr virus(2) Chromosomal replication and gene amplification in organisms as diverse as yeast, Drosophila, Xenopus and mammalian cells(3) Control of DNA replication in the cell cycle (4) Structure and function of chromosomal elements such as origins of replication and telomeres(5) Control of cell cycle progression and S phase specific gene expression (6) DNA replication checkpoints and DNA repair. DNA replication is an essential process in all organisms. This meeting will help disseminate current research findings on this vital topic and will stimulate and facilitate further advances. The financial support provided by the National Science Foundation will enable students, postdoctoral fellows, and young investigators to attend this important meeting.
