This Keystone Symposium on Emerging Mechanisms of Epigenetic Regulation will focus on the study of epigenetics and its impact on many different areas of biological sciences. Some of the aspects of epigenetic phenomena are beginning to be understood, but the underlying mechanisms are still unknown. This Symposium will attempt to find common themes and differences across all phyla (fungi, plants, animals) in phenomena such as genomic imprinting, X-chromosome inactivation, RNA-interference, and paramutation. The Symposium will bring together a diverse range of researchers in a meeting setting that promotes interaction and discussion. The Symposium is devoted to providing an atmosphere that promotes the research and careers of young investigators, so the participation of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty is being strongly encouraged. In addition, one of the Symposium's goals is to strengthen the voice of underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities in the field. To achieve this, organizers have set aside speaking slots for young investigators and will choose additional speakers from submitted abstracts. The Program already includes a significant number of prominent women scientist speakers who can act as role models for young women attendees. The Symposium will defray the cost of attendance for a number of young scientists and participants from underrepresented groups.

这次关于表观遗传调控新兴机制的关键研讨会将重点关注表观遗传学及其对生物科学许多不同领域的影响。 表观遗传现象的某些方面开始被理解，但其潜在机制仍然未知。 本次研讨会将试图找到所有门（真菌，植物，动物）的现象，如基因组印记，X染色体失活，RNA干扰和副突变的共同主题和差异。 研讨会将汇集各种各样的研究人员在一个会议环境，促进互动和讨论。 研讨会致力于提供一个促进年轻研究人员的研究和职业生涯的氛围，因此强烈鼓励研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师的参与。 此外，专题讨论会的目标之一是加强代表性不足的少数群体、妇女和残疾人在实地的发言权。 为了实现这一目标，组织者为年轻的研究人员留出了发言时间，并将从提交的摘要中选择更多的发言者。 该方案已经包括了大量杰出的女科学家演讲者，她们可以成为年轻女性与会者的榜样。 专题讨论会将支付一些青年科学家和代表人数不足群体的与会者的出席费用。
