DESCRIPTION (adapted from investigator's abstract): The Keystone Meeting on the Bacterial Chromosome includes a wide variety of approaches to the general topic of bacterial chromosomes. Chromosomes must be successfully copied, be transmitted to daughter cells, and allow differential expression of encoded information. All of this must happen in the context of the programmed sequence of events that constitute the cell cycle and must still allow rapid response to unscheduled environmental inputs. Chromosome structure is subject to continual selection and yet has remained plastic and capable of change on both short and evolutionary time scales. This meeting examines both the specific mechanisms necessary for chromosome function and their integration with the cell cycle and cell growth. The diverse topics covered provide a unique opportunity for revealing unexpected interrelationships among chromosome functions and new approaches to the study of these functions. The focus of the meeting will be on integrating the emerging understanding of how specific processes (replication, recombination, transposition and transcription) are regulated with the complex biological processes of cell cycle and chromosome movement. This should make the meeting particularly valuable for scientists who normally may only attend meetings on their specific topic and for students and postdoctoral fellows moving into this field.

描述（改编自研究者的摘要）：Keystone 会议 细菌染色体包括多种方法 细菌染色体的一般主题。 染色体必须成功 复制，传递到子细胞，并允许差异表达 的编码信息。 所有这一切都必须发生在 构成细胞周期的程序化事件序列，并且必须仍然 允许对计划外的环境输入做出快速响应。 染色体 结构受到不断的选择，但仍保持可塑性和 能够在短期和进化时间尺度上发生变化。 这次会议 检查染色体功能所需的具体机制和 它们与细胞周期和细胞生长的整合。 多样化的主题 覆盖提供了一个独特的机会来揭示意想不到的 染色体功能之间的相互关系和新方法 研究这些函数。 会议的重点将是整合 对特定过程（复制、 重组、转座和转录）受调节 细胞周期和染色体运动的复杂生物过程。 这 应该使这次会议对于通常情况下的科学家来说特别有价值 只能参加针对其特定主题的会议以及针对学生和 博士后研究员进入这一领域。
