In higher organisms including plants and animals, the genetic code (DNA) is to be found in an internal compartment of the cell known as the nucleus, tightly packaged into chromosomes in a DNA-protein complex called chromatin. Genes are expressed when messenger RNAs (mRNA) are copied off the DNA code in a process called transcription, before leaving the nucleus to be translated into proteins at "protein factories" called ribosomes. Transcription is now known to be a highly orchestrated process, with expression of sets of genes being turned on and off at various stages of the life of the organism. This international conference is intended to be a forum for discussion of the latest research in the field and to promote future progress in our understanding of this complex and fundamental biological process. 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.

在包括植物和动物在内的高等生物中，遗传密码（DNA）存在于细胞的内部隔室中，称为细胞核，紧密包装在称为染色质的DNA-蛋白质复合物中的染色体中。当信使RNA（mRNA）在一个称为转录的过程中从DNA代码中复制出来时，基因就表达了，然后离开细胞核，在称为核糖体的"蛋白质工厂"中翻译成蛋白质。现在已知转录是一个高度协调的过程，在生物体生命的不同阶段，基因组的表达被打开和关闭。本次国际会议旨在成为讨论该领域最新研究的论坛，并促进我们对这一复杂和基本生物过程的理解的未来进展。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。
