CONFERENCE: Southeastern Regional Yeast Meeting to be held at Rhodes College; March 9-11, 2018

该奖项支持东南区域酵母会议（SERYM）将于2018年3月9日至11日在田纳西州孟菲斯的罗德学院校园举行。SERYM提供了一个讨论酵母分子和细胞生物学主题的论坛，如转录和RNA加工、信号转传导和生长控制、染色质重塑和表观遗传学、染色体动力学、端粒生物学、基因组完整性、DNA交易、损伤和修复、RNA代谢和细胞周期调节。一个多层次的角度提供了还包括海报和介绍酵母分子生态学和进化生物学。区域性会议在一个紧凑的环境中进行，总体参与人数很少（预计125人），而本科生研究人员的出席率很高，其中许多来自EPSCoR国家或主要来自本科生机构，为学生研究人员报告他们的发现并与更资深的科学家交流科学思想提供了一个极好的机会。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports Southeastern Regional Yeast Meeting (SERYM) to be held March 9-11, 2018 on the campus of Rhodes College in Memphis, TN. SERYM provides a forum for discussion of topics in yeast molecular and cellular biology, such as transcription and RNA processing, signal transduction and growth control, chromatin remodeling and epigenetics, chromosome dynamics, telomere biology, genome integrity, DNA transactions, damage and repair, RNA metabolism, and cell cycle regulation. A multi-level perspective is provided by also including posters and presentations on yeast molecular ecology and evolutionary biology.The regional meetings in a compact setting, with small overall participation ( 125 expected) and high attendance by undergraduate researchers, many from the EPSCoR states or from predominantly undergraduate institutions, offer an excellent opportunity for student researchers to report their findings and exchange scientific ideas with more senior scientists.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
