The XVIIth International Congress of Genetics will be held at the International Convention Centre, Birmingham, United Kingdom, August 15- 21, 1993. The theme of the Congress will be "Genetics and the Understanding of Life". Papers will be presented on the structure, behavior, evolution, pathology and engineering of genomes at all levels of biological and phylogenetic organization. There will also be sessions on historical, philosophical and social aspects of genetics. The program will be organized into 40 symposia with workshops and poster sessions. In addition, a series of 10 plenary lectures will be given which will represent a collection of talks by some of the foremost geneticists of our time. The Congress, the first in five years, will provide a unique setting for the synthesis of general concepts arrived at in a broad set of diverse organisms and systems. It will also provide very specialized workshops on focused topics, again allowing for stimulating cross fertilization of ideas on approaches and techniques. The primary purpose of U.S. participation is to enhance American genetics by the exchange of information that will take place. It should be noted that success of the Congress will depend significantly upon American participation because of the predominant position of American scientists in the field of Genetics. The Genetics Society of America is requesting partial support for travel and living expenses for 150 American scientists and students to participate in the XVIIth International Congress of Genetics in total; this grant application asks for support for 50 scientists and students or one third of the total requests.

XVIITH国际遗传学大会将在 英国伯明翰国际会议中心，8月15日 - 21，1993。国会的主题将是“遗传学和 对生活的理解”。论文将在结构上介绍， 各级基因组的行为，进化，病理和工程 生物学和系统发育组织。 也会有 关于遗传学的历史，哲学和社会方面的会议。 该计划将通过研讨会组织为40个研讨会， 海报会议。 此外，一系列10个全体讲座将是 给出的将代表一些谈话的集合 我们时代最重要的遗传学家。 国会是五年来的第一个，将提供独特的环境 为了综合一般概念的综合 多样的生物和系统。 它也将提供非常专业的 关于重点主题的讲习班，再次允许刺激十字架 在方法和技术上的想法受精。 主要 美国参与的目的是增强美国遗传学 交换将发生的信息。 应该指出的是 国会的成功将在很大程度上取决于美国 由于美国的主要位置而参与 遗传学领域的科学家。 美国遗传学协会要求部分支持 150名美国科学家和学生的旅行和生活费用 总共参加Xviith国际遗传学国际大会； 该赠款申请要求为50位科学家和学生提供支持 或总请求的三分之一。
