SIXTH SMALL GENOMES CONFERENCE--1998

该提案是为第六届小基因组会议提供会议资助。 会议（原E。大肠杆菌和小基因组会议）举行 1998年9月20日24日在箭头湖的会议中心， 加州。 人们对比较这些序列的前景感到非常兴奋， 在接下来的一两年里，多达25个微生物基因组的内容。 微生物学不同方面的大量整合将 无疑会发生，包括对进化的新观点， 生活的要求。为了实现这些目标，特别是一体化 和协同作用，来自不同学科的科学家必须互动。因此， 会议将包括活跃的基因组研究人员，如测序 从事数据库设计、序列分析、 基因组信息，例如用于功能分析;以及细胞生物学家和 生物化学家们专门研究基因组学的成熟领域， 代谢、染色体结构或基因调控。尽管已经 最近的一些基因组会议，继续完成， 新的基因组序列的发布和发展对这种基因组序列的持续需求， 会议这次会议已成为一个重要的年度会议， 微生物基因组学会议在过去七年中，并已保证 地位和质量。

This proposal is for a conference grant for the sixth Small Genomes Conference (formerly the E. coli and Small Genomes Conference) to be held September 20,24, 1998, at the conference center in Lake Arrowhead, California. There is great excitement over the prospect of comparing the sequences and contents of as many as 25 microbial genomes over the next year or two. Considerable integration of different aspects of microbiology will undoubtedly take place, including new perspectives on evolution and the requirements for life. To achieve these goals, particularly of integration and synergy, scientists from diverse disciplines must interact. Thus, this conference will include active genome researchers, such as sequencing experts and informatics specialists working in database design, sequence genomic information, e.g. for functional analysis; and cell biologists and biochemists who have specialized in areas now ripe for genomics such as metabolism, chromosome structure, or gene regulation. While there have been a number of recent genome conferences, continuing completion and release of new genome sequences and developing continued need of such conference. This meeting has become established as a major annual microbial genomics conference during the last seven years and has assured status and quality.
