Intellectual Merit The biennial Gordon Research Conference on Chromosome Dynamics will be held at Mount Snow Resort, West Dover, VT from July 10-15, 2011. This conference brings together researchers studying different aspects of chromosome biology. It is unusual in its broad scope, including genome structure, chromosome interactions and segregation, chromatin, telomere/centromere biology, epigenetics, DNA replication and repair. Unlike more specialized conferences, it seeks to foster communication among diverse investigators studying different aspects of chromosome dynamics. In addition to covering diverse areas of chromosome biology, the conference has traditionally featured biophysical approaches to structural and functional aspects of chromosome biology and this year's session, "Views of Chromosomes and Chromosomal Proteins" features speakers on state-of-the-art microscopy and single-molecule studies and other emerging technologies. For the first time, the 2011 conference will feature a session on "Genomic Structure and Evolution", an important feature of chromosome biology.Broader Impacts The Gordon Research Conferences stress a highly interactive scale and format, with ample opportunity for intense discussion of current findings and ideas. This conference format allows new investigators, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to have the opportunity to present their work in several venues (platform talks and poster sessions) and to interact with the many of leaders of the field. Two talks in each session have been reserved for speakers to be chosen from the submitted abstracts, allowing postdoctoral fellows and graduate students the opportunity to present their work, some for the first time. The program has been designed to represent the diversity of the field and 44% of the confirmed speakers are women. The conference will benefit both established and new investigators by providing an exposure to areas outside their specific fields and by providing interactions with some of the most thoughtful and innovative members of the field.

戈登染色体动力学研究会议将于2011年7月10日至15日在佛蒙特州西多佛市的雪山度假村举行。这次会议汇集了研究染色体生物学不同方面的研究人员。它在广泛的范围内是不寻常的，包括基因组结构、染色体相互作用和分离、染色质、端粒/着丝粒生物学、表观遗传学、DNA复制和修复。与更专业的会议不同，它寻求促进研究染色体动力学不同方面的不同研究人员之间的交流。除了涵盖染色体生物学的不同领域外，该会议传统上以生物物理方法为特色，研究染色体生物学的结构和功能方面。今年的会议以“染色体和染色体蛋白质的观点”为特色，演讲内容包括最先进的显微镜和单分子研究以及其他新兴技术。2011年的会议将首次以“基因组结构和进化”为主题，这是染色体生物学的一个重要特征。这种会议形式允许新的研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生有机会在几个地点(平台演讲和海报会议)介绍他们的工作，并与该领域的许多领导人互动。每堂课保留两场演讲，供发言者从提交的摘要中挑选出来，让博士后研究员和研究生有机会介绍他们的工作，有些是第一次。该项目旨在代表该领域的多样性，44%的确认演讲者是女性。该会议将使现有和新的研究人员都受益，因为它提供了对其特定领域以外的领域的接触，并提供了与该领域一些最有思想和最具创新精神的成员的互动。
