本申请书，代表美国人类学会提交 遗传学，要求对8号科学计划提供部分支持 国际人类遗传学大会将在华盛顿特区举行 1991年10月6日至11日。这些国际人类遗传学大会， 自1956年以来，每五年召开一次，为 基础和应用方面的科学信息交流 人类和医学遗传学以及促进个人 国际学术界在这一领域的迅速联系 前进场。这次大会的召开正值最有利的时候，许多人 白粉病基础分子遗传学研究的重要进展 真核生物正被引导到临床层面上 人类遗传学的实践。 这种强大的分析所产生的兴奋和潜力 使用重组DNA、DNA-和染色体的技术- 介导的基因转移、流式细胞术、聚合酶链式反应和 同源重组表明这是一种特别有价值的 是召开这样一次国际会议的时候了。应该指出的是， 在人类方面广泛的国际科学协作和合作 目前存在的遗传学，特别是在北美和 西欧，将继续按照互补的方式发展 不同领域的专业知识和最经济高效地使用 资源。大会的主要目的是加强 在人类遗传学方面的知识通过信息的交流 Place和《诉讼：出版》将导致。成功 国会将在很大程度上依赖于大多数 目前的信息是因为中国的高科学研究水平 分子生物学和遗传学在世界各地广泛开展。

This application, submitted on behalf of the American Society of Human Genetics, requests partial support for the scientific program of the 8th International Congress of Human Genetics to be held in Washington, DC, October 6-11, 1991. These International Congresses of Human Genetics, convened every five years since 1956, have provided an excellent forum for the exchange of scientific information on fundamental and applied aspects of human and medical genetics and for the facilitation of personal contacts among the international community of scholars in this rapidly advancing field. This Congress comes at a most propitious time when many important advances in the elucidation of the basic molecular genetics of eukaryotic organisms are being directed at the clinical level in the practice of human genetics. The excitement and potential generated by such powerful analytical techniques as those employing recombinant DNA, DNA- and chromosome- mediated gene transfer, flow cytometry, polymerase chain reaction, and homologous recombination indicate that this is a particularly valuable time for such an international meeting. It should be noted that the extensive international scientific collaboration and cooperation in human genetics which presently exist, particularly between North America and Western Europe, will continue to develop as dictated by complementary expertise in different areas and the most economical and efficient use of resources. The primary purpose of the Congress is to enhance the body of knowledge in human genetics by the exchange of information that will take place and the "Proceedings: publication that will result. The success of the Congress will depend significantly upon free interchange of the most current information because of the high scientific level of research in molecular biology and genetics occurring throughout the world.
