Intellectual Merit: The Eighteenth Microbial Genomics Conference will be held September 12-16, 2010, at the UCLA Conference Center at Lake Arrowhead, California. The meeting is aimed at fostering interactions among scientists from multiple disciplines who are studying various aspects of microbial biology enabled by the wealth of genomic information and bioinformatics technologies developed during recent years. This conference will include active genome researchers, such as sequencing experts and informatics specialists working in database design, sequence analysis, or simulation; geneticists developing new methods to take advantage of genomic information, e.g. for functional analysis; and cell biologists and biochemists who have specialized in basic science areas now ripe for genomics such as metabolism, chromosome structure, or gene regulation. One focus of this conference will be on microbial communities and biodiversity, including the human microbiome (the collection of microorganisms in the human body). Another focus will be on finding new methods of annotation, as the conference includes a workshop on genome annotation. Broader Impacts: This meeting has become established as a major annual microbial genomics conference during the last eighteen years. It continues to offer a major opportunity for young investigators and students to attend, present their research as posters or talks, and discuss recent findings with leading researchers in the field. This exchange of ideas is critically important to network- and career-building.

智力优势：第十八届微生物基因组学会议将于2010年9月12日至16日在加州箭头湖的加州大学洛杉矶分校会议中心举行。 会议旨在促进来自多个学科的科学家之间的互动，这些科学家正在研究近年来开发的丰富的基因组信息和生物信息学技术所带来的微生物生物学的各个方面。 本次会议将包括活跃的基因组研究人员，如测序专家和信息学专家在数据库设计，序列分析，或模拟工作;遗传学家开发新的方法，以利用基因组信息，例如功能分析;和细胞生物学家和生物化学家谁专门在基础科学领域，现在成熟的基因组学，如代谢，染色体结构，或基因调控。本次会议的重点之一将是微生物群落和生物多样性，包括人体微生物组（人体内微生物的集合）。 另一个重点将是寻找新的注释方法，因为会议包括一个关于基因组注释的研讨会。 更广泛的影响：在过去的18年里，这个会议已经成为一个重要的年度微生物基因组学会议。 它继续为年轻的研究人员和学生提供一个重要的机会，以海报或讲座的形式展示他们的研究，并与该领域的主要研究人员讨论最近的研究结果。 这种思想交流对建立关系网和职业生涯至关重要。
