Conference: 2007 CSHL Eukaryotic mRNA Pocessing Conference, to be held August 22 - 26, 2007 in Cold Spring Harbor, NY

在植物和动物细胞中，遗传密码（DNA）被保护在细胞核中，细胞核是细胞的内部隔室。当信使RNA（mRNA）被复制或转录出DNA密码时，基因被表达。然后，mRNA离开细胞核，在称为核糖体的蛋白质工厂中被翻译成蛋白质。在这个过程中，这些信息经历了大量的处理，其中内部序列在一个称为剪接的过程中被编辑出来，信息的末端被化学修饰。这次国际会议旨在成为讨论该领域最新研究的论坛。这次会议是值得注意的，因为大多数的谈话是从公开提交的摘要中选择，为包括研究生在内的初级科学家提供了广泛和多样化的代表性，以展示他们的最新研究。国家科学基金会的资金将主要用于支持初级科学家和该领域代表性不足的选区成员，否则他们将无法参加。

In plant and animal cells, the genetic code (DNA) resides protected in the nucleus, an internal compartment of the cell. Genes are expressed when messenger RNAs (mRNA) are copied or transcribed off the DNA code. The mRNAs then leave the nucleus to be translated into proteins at protein factories called ribosomes. On the way, these messages undergo a considerable amount of processing, in which internal sequences are edited out in a process called splicing and the ends of the message become chemically modified. This international conference is intended to be a forum for discussion of the latest research in the field. This conference is notable because the majority of talks are selected from openly submitted abstracts giving ample opportunity for broad and diverse representation of junior scientists including graduate students to present their latest research. National Science Foundation funding will primarily be used to support junior scientists and members of under-represented constituencies within the field who would otherwise not be able to attend.
