The Meiosis Gordon Conference is held biennially at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire. The 2006 meeting is scheduled for June 11-16. This conference focuses on research aimed at understanding the mechanisms of meiosis, the specialized cell division process that allows sexually reproducing organisms to form gametes. Approximately 175 scientists are expected to participate in the conference. Over forty percent of participants are doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows, and the conference provides an important venue for interactions among scientists at all career stages. The Meiosis Gordon Conference is one of only two meetings that concentrate on meiosis. The other meeting is held in alternate years in Europe and provides a more limited opportunity for participation, especially for scientists from the United States. The Meiosis Gordon Conference thus provides the most important forum for presenting and discussing new findings regarding a process central to sexual reproduction and to maintenance of genome integrity. Plenary sessions will cover pre-meiotic S and early meiotic events; regulation and cell cycle control of meiosis; recombination initiation; chromatin modifications and the epigenetics of meiosis; recombination mechanisms; kinetochores and cohesion; chromosome pairing, dynamics, and segregation; cross-over distribution; and the evolution of meiosis and sex chromosomes. In addition, one session will be devoted to a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the synaptonemal complex. The chair and vice-chair of the meeting, Miriam Zolan and Scott Keeney, are international leaders in the field of meiosis, elected to their positions by the participants of the previous meeting. The meeting is organized according to the well-established guidelines for Gordon Research Conferences that allow ample time for formal and informal discussion and debate.The conference provides an important venue for interactions among scientists at all career stages. Approximately 175 scientists are expected to participate in the conference. Over forty percent of participants will be doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. Established scientists who have recently developed research interests in meiosis will also attend. These two groups of participants will benefit not only from the introduction to key concepts in the study of meiosis by leaders of sub-disciplines, but also from learning about new unpublished discoveries, and from interacting with established scientists in the field. The meeting has always been highly successful in attracting female participants and has been attended by scientists from throughout the US and the world. Outreach to minority scientists will be through contacts with scientists in the field and through international advertising. The meeting site is completely accessible to those with physical disabilities. This award will be used to defray the conference expenses of students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty.

减数分裂戈登会议每两年在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比索耶学院举行一次。 2006年会议定于6月11日至16日举行。 这次会议的重点是研究旨在了解减数分裂的机制，专门的细胞分裂过程，使有性生殖的生物体形成配子。预计约有175名科学家将参加会议。 超过40%的参与者是博士生和博士后研究员，会议为所有职业阶段的科学家提供了一个重要的交流场所。 戈登会议是仅有的两个专注于减数分裂的会议之一。 另一次会议隔年在欧洲举行，参加的机会比较有限，特别是美国的科学家。 因此，减数分裂戈登会议提供了最重要的论坛，介绍和讨论有关有性生殖和维持基因组完整性的核心过程的新发现。 全体会议将涵盖减数分裂前S和减数分裂早期事件;减数分裂的调控和细胞周期控制;重组启动;染色质修饰和减数分裂的表观遗传学;重组机制;动粒和凝聚力;染色体配对，动力学和分离;交叉分布;和减数分裂和性染色体的进化。 此外，还将举办一场会议来庆祝联会复合体发现50周年。 会议的主席和副主席Miriam Zolan和Scott Keeney是减数分裂领域的国际领导人，由上届会议的与会者选出。会议根据戈登研究会议的既定指导方针组织，为正式和非正式的讨论和辩论提供了充足的时间。会议为所有职业阶段的科学家提供了一个重要的互动场所。 预计约有175名科学家将参加会议。 超过40%的参与者将是博士生和博士后研究员。 最近对减数分裂产生研究兴趣的科学家也将参加。这两组参与者不仅将受益于子学科领导人对减数分裂研究中关键概念的介绍，还将受益于了解新的未发表的发现，以及与该领域的知名科学家互动。该会议在吸引女性参与方面一直非常成功，来自美国和世界各地的科学家都参加了会议。将通过与该领域的科学家接触和国际广告，与少数群体科学家进行外联。 身体残疾者完全可以进入会场。 该奖项将用于支付学生，博士后研究员和初级教师的会议费用。
