Intellectual Merit This conference will be held at Stonehill College in Easton Massachusetts from August 7-12, 2011. The conference is known for its cutting edge science and breadth of coverage, providing a forum for the exploration of a wide range of epigenetic phenomena and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms in numerous model organisms, as well as humans. By stressing the presentation of unpublished data, the conference will facilitate the exchange and dissemination of information that will help move the field into new areas of inquiry, employing the latest methods and technologies. This year the conference will have 9 sessions: 1-Epigenetic mechanisms I: DNA methylation; 2- Environment, aging, memory and behavioral epigenetics; 3 Epialleles and epigenetic inheritance; 4- Developmental programming and reprogramming; 5- Epigenetic mechanisms II: RNA-mediated heterochromatin formation and gene rearrangement; 6- Epigenetics and disease; 7- Gene dosage control mechanisms; 8- Epigenetics and the genome: position-effects, replication and nuclear organization; and 9- Instructing the next generation through DNA imprints and RNA signaling.Broader Impacts In addition to invited, established investigators who are leaders in the field, the conference program developed by the organizers of the 2011 Epigenetics Gordon Research Conference includes a substantial number of young investigators who are new to the conference and whose exciting work expands the frontiers of the field. Registration and/or travel support will be made available to attendees from domestic minority-serving institutions. Sixteen (33%) of the confirmed speakers and discussion leaders for the 2011 conference are women.

学术价值本次会议将于2011年8月7日至12日在伊斯顿马萨诸塞州的斯通希尔学院举行。该会议以其前沿科学和覆盖面广而闻名，为探索众多模式生物以及人类中的广泛表观遗传现象和表观遗传调控机制提供了一个论坛。通过强调提出未发表的数据，会议将促进信息的交流和传播，这将有助于利用最新的方法和技术将该领域推向新的调查领域。今年的会议将有9个会议：1-表观遗传学机制I：DNA甲基化; 2-环境，衰老，记忆和行为表观遗传学; 3表观等位基因和表观遗传学遗传; 4-发育编程和重编程; 5-表观遗传学机制II：RNA介导的异染色质形成和基因重排; 6-表观遗传学和疾病; 7-基因剂量控制机制; 8-表观遗传学和基因组：位置效应、复制和核心组织;和9-通过DNA印记和RNA信号传导指导下一代。更广泛的影响除了受邀的、在该领域处于领先地位的知名调查人员外，由2011年表观遗传学戈登研究会议的组织者制定的会议计划包括大量的年轻研究人员，他们是会议的新手，他们令人兴奋的工作扩展了领域的边界。将向来自国内少数群体服务机构的与会者提供登记和/或旅行支助。在2011年会议的确认发言人和讨论领导人中，有16人（33%）是妇女。
