The American Society for Microbiology will convene a group of approximately 60 expert scientists for a colloquium November 6-9, 2003, in Key Largo, Florida, to look at pathogen genome sequencing-related issues in the context of the total set of fully sequenced genomes to date. The scope of the colloquium will include viruses, bacteria, and fungi responsible for pathogenesis in plants, animals, and humans. The colloquium will begin with an initial overview session including one or two case studies highlighting the value of genome sequence information, leading into a discussion of lessons and a formal set of ideas about where the field should go. Smaller working groups of participants will then meet to discuss questions that the steering committee has developed ahead of time. Some of the issues to be discussed include the current status of genome sequencing efforts on pathogens and closely related species, identifying specific criteria that define a pathogen, and new technologies to enhance the collection of sequence data. On the final day of the colloquium, all the working groups will reconvene in a general session to share their group reports, to discuss any issues raised, and to develop their recommendations for future scientific efforts. A professional science writer, working closely with the steering committee, will develop a draft report for review by the colloquium participants. It will provide a background briefing based on the colloquium presentations and a set of recommendations for further scientific endeavors in the field. The report will be developed in print and electronic formats.

美国微生物学会将于 2003 年 11 月 6 日至 9 日在佛罗里达州基拉戈市召集大约 60 名专家科学家组成的小组，在迄今为止已完全测序的基因组的背景下研究与病原体基因组测序相关的问题。 研讨会的范围将包括负责植物、动物和人类发病机制的病毒、细菌和真菌。 研讨会将以初步概述会议开始，其中包括一两个强调基因组序列信息价值的案例研究，进而讨论经验教训以及关于该领域应走向何方的一套正式想法。 然后，较小的参与者工作组将开会讨论指导委员会提前提出的问题。 将讨论的一些问题包括病原体和密切相关物种的基因组测序工作的现状、确定定义病原体的具体标准以及加强序列数据收集的新技术。 在研讨会的最后一天，所有工作组将重新召开全体会议，分享小组报告，讨论提出的任何问题，并为未来的科学工作提出建议。 一名专业科学作家将与指导委员会密切合作，制定一份报告草稿，供研讨会参与者审查。 它将根据研讨会的报告提供背景简介，并为该领域进一步的科学努力提出一系列建议。 该报告将以印刷版和电子版形式编写。
