2005 CSHL Eukaryotic DNA Replication Conference, September 7 - 11, 2005 to be held in Cold Spring Harbor, New York

这次会议将是关于真核DNA复制的第10次两年一度的会议。这是唯一一次定期召开的专门讨论真核DNA复制的会议。由于这一焦点，会议在理解真核细胞DNA复制过程以及如何将其整合到细胞分裂周期方面发挥了重大作用。2005年的会议将包括一系列不同的主题，包括：(1)在酵母、果蝇、非洲爪哇和哺乳动物细胞等各种生物中的染色体复制和基因放大；(2)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Epstein-Barr病毒；(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素的结构和功能；以及(5)DNA复制机制与其他关键细胞周期事件之间的联系；(6)DNA复制检查点和DNA修复。会议的形式将确保在面对面接触的气氛中交流和讨论最近的成果，这可以促进进展和协作。将鼓励青年研究人员以及少数民族和女科学家的参与。组织者将使用NSF的资金来支付初级科学家、女性科学家和少数族裔科学家参加会议的费用。

This conference will be the 10th biennial meeting on Eukaryotic DNA Replication. It is the only regularly occurring meeting that is exclusively focused on eukaryotic DNA replication. Because of this focus, the meeting has played a major role in the rapid growth in the understanding of the eukaryotic DNA replication process and how it is integrated into the cell division cycle. The 2005 meeting will include a diverse array of topics including studies of: (1)chromosomal replication and gene amplification in organisms as diverse as yeast,Drosophila, Xenopus and mammalian cells; (2) the replication of virus chromosomes, including SV40, polyomavirus, cytomegalovirus, herpesvirus, papillomaviruses, and Epstein-Barr virus; (3) control of DNA replication in the cell cycle; (4) structure and function of chromosomal elements such as origins of replication and telomeres; and (5)connections between the DNA replication machinery and other critical cell cycle events; (6) DNA replication checkpoints and DNA repair. The format of the meeting will ensure that recent results will be communicated and discussed in an atmosphere of face-to-face contact, which can enhance progress and collaboration. The participation of young investigators and minority and women scientists will be encouraged. The organizers will use the funds from NSF to defray the attendance costs for junior, women, and minority scientists at the conference.
