This award provides partial support for the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) 2007 Conference on Genetic Recombination and Genome Rearrangements to be held July 28-August 2, 2007, in Snowmass, Colorado. This will be the twelfth in a series of highly successful bi-annual conferences devoted to these topics. Genetic recombination plays a key role in molding genome structure in all living organisms and is required to maintain genome integrity. Chromosomal breaks produced by environmental agents or endogenous processes are repaired by both homologous and non-homologous recombination. The outcome of these repair events may or may not involve genetic change. For reproductive cells, homologous recombination ensures proper chromosome disjunction during meiosis, in addition to generation of diversity. This conference will bring together 185 investigators studying many diverse aspects of genetic recombination, in a range of biological systems, and with different experimental approaches. Presentations will introduce new and unpublished work on timely questions in the field and will include discussion from all participants. A book will be prepared to provide abstracts and contact information of all participants. The support from NSF will help postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and new faculty members attend the conference.

该奖项为将于2007年7月28日至8月2日在科罗拉多斯诺马斯举行的美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）2007年遗传修饰和基因组重排会议提供部分支持。这将是致力于这些主题的一系列非常成功的两年期会议中的第十二次。基因重组在塑造所有生物体的基因组结构中起着关键作用，并且是维持基因组完整性所必需的。由环境因素或内源过程产生的染色体断裂通过同源和非同源重组修复。这些修复事件的结果可能涉及或可能不涉及遗传变化。对于生殖细胞，同源重组确保减数分裂期间染色体正确分离，以及多样性的产生。本次会议将汇集185名研究人员，研究遗传重组的许多不同方面，在一系列生物系统中，并采用不同的实验方法。演讲将介绍关于该领域及时问题的新的和未发表的工作，并将包括所有与会者的讨论。将编写一本书，提供所有与会者的摘要和联系信息。 来自NSF的支持将帮助博士后研究员，研究生和新教师参加会议。
