Chlamydomonas Annotation Meetings to be held in October 2003, and March 2004, in Walnut Creek, CA

一系列的两个会议，以产生一个强大的注释几乎所有的基因衣原体基因组将在联合基因组研究所位于核桃溪，加州。这项工作将于2003年10月在一个国内和国际调查人员小组会议上开始，并将在2004年3月举行的第二次会议（只有国内人员参加）上完成。这些会议还有其他目的：1）为主要研究者、学生和博士后研究员提供使用基因组浏览器和cDNA信息的培训; 2）定义将纳入C. reinhardtii序列和微阵列数据库; 3）提供用于确定可用的不同类型基因模型的有用性的信息; 4）总结关于闭合基因组沿着的所有序列缺口的进展; 5）将社区领导人聚集在一起讨论基因组的性质，并让学生有机会与该领域的许多顶级科学家会面和互动; 6）允许研究人员起草描述C.这些会议将使衣原体研究人员能够综合和组织关于这种模式生物的丰富信息，并确定在未来优化其对科学界乃至整个社会的有用性所必需的措施。

A series of two meetings to generate a robust annotation for nearly all of the genes of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii genome will be held at the Joint Genome Institute located in Walnut Creek, California. The work is to be initiated in October,2003, at a meeting of a group of domestic and international investigators and is to be completed during a second meeting (with only domestic participants) in March, 2004. The meetings also have other objectives: 1) to provide principal investigators, students, and post-doctoral fellows with training in the use of the genome browser and cDNA information; 2) to define changes and new features to be incorporated into the C. reinhardtii sequence and microarray databases; 3) to provide information for determining the usefulness of the different types of gene models available; 4) to summarize progress being made with respect to closing all sequence gaps along the genome; 5)to bring leaders of the community together to discuss the nature of the genome, and give students the opportunity to meet and interact with many of the top-level scientists in the field; and 6)to allow investigators to draft an outline of a manuscript describing the C. reinhardtii genome and to determine strategies to disseminate the information, making it readily accessible to the scientific community.These meetings will enable Chlamydomonas researchers to synthesize and organize the wealth of information generated about this model organism, and to determine what is necessary to optimize its usefulness to the scientific community, and thus to all of society, in the future.
