Support is requested for US invited speakers and contributing participants at the 3rd International Conference on Quantitative Genetics (ICQG) to be held in Hangzhou, China, August 18-24, 2007.As with the 1st ICQG in Ames, Iowa in 1976 and the 2nd ICQG in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1987, the 3rd ICQG will be a comprehensive survey of the current status of quantitative genetics. New technologies in areas ranging from genomics and molecular genetics to statistics are providing both opportunities and challenges for our understanding of the genetic basis of quantitative traits in human and other natural populations, the evolution of characters, and use for plant and animal breeding.The conference will provide substantial opportunities for international participants to interact, with funding provided to enable participation by younger scientists who might otherwise not be able to attend.

第三届国际数量遗传学大会将于2007年8月18-24日在杭州中国举行，现诚邀美国代表出席。与1976年在爱荷华州艾姆斯和1987年在北卡罗来纳州罗利举行的第一届国际数量遗传学大会和1987年在北卡罗来纳州罗利举行的第二届国际数量遗传学大会一样，第三届国际数量遗传学大会将是对数量遗传学现状的全面调查。从基因组学、分子遗传学到统计学等领域的新技术为我们理解人类和其他自然群体中数量性状的遗传基础、性状的进化以及用于动植物育种提供了机遇和挑战。会议将为国际与会者提供大量互动的机会，并提供资金，使可能无法参加会议的年轻科学家能够参与。
