This proposal requests partial support for a Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) summer research conference on Yeast Chromosome Structure, Replication, and Segregation. This meeting will be held June 28 - July 3, 2002 at Snowmass, Colorado, as the seventh meeting in an extremely successful biennial series on chromosome research in budding and fission yeast. Research on yeast chromosome dynamics has a substantial impact on human biology, with medical implications in the areas of cancer, cellular aging, and aneuploidy due to chromosome transmission defects. Therefore, this rapidly moving research area requires a dedicated meeting to efficiently disseminate information. Since 1990, the FASEB-sponsored meeting has been the most important clearinghouse for new experimental findings in this field. The 2002 conference program will consist of nine scientific sessions, a keynote address, a workshop, and two poster sessions. The scientific sessions will cover nuclear architecture and chromatin remodeling, telomeres and telomerases, DNA replication, cell cycle transitions and control of DNA replication, checkpoints, meiosis, mitotic entry and exit, centromeres and kinetochores, and mitotic motors and spindle dynamics.. The focus of the afternoon-long workshop will be yeast functional genomics, a topic of increasing interest due to the tremendous potential impact on genetic analysis. Ten distinguished scientists will participate in this conference as session chairs of the nine plenary sessions and the workshop. Paul Nurse, Director of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, will be giving the keynote address. In consultation with the session chairs, we have generated a list of 99 potential speakers from which we will make a final selection of approximately 66. Most speakers will be invited in July and August, 2001, while we plan to choose others from among the submitted abstracts prior to the meeting. Participants whose abstracts were not selected for platform talks will be strongly encouraged to present posters. The conference will be limited to 200 scientists who will be chosen on the basis of their interests and expertise, with special efforts to increase the participation of female, minority, and junior scientists. Our objective for this meeting is to continue the extremely high level of excitement and scientific excellence that has characterized the past six conferences.

该提案要求部分支持美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）关于酵母染色体结构，复制和分离的夏季研究会议。这次会议将于2002年6月28日至7月3日在科罗拉多的斯诺马斯举行，这是关于芽殖和裂殖酵母染色体研究的两年一次的系列会议中的第七次会议。酵母染色体动力学的研究对人类生物学有重大影响，在癌症、细胞衰老和由于染色体传递缺陷引起的非整倍体等领域具有医学意义。因此，这一迅速发展的研究领域需要专门的会议来有效地传播信息。自1990年以来，该联合会主办的会议一直是这一领域新的实验发现的最重要的交流中心。2002年的会议计划将包括九个科学会议，一个主题演讲，一个研讨会和两个海报会议。科学会议将涵盖核结构和染色质重塑，端粒和端粒酶，DNA复制，细胞周期转换和DNA复制的控制，检查点，减数分裂，有丝分裂进入和退出，着丝粒和动粒，有丝分裂马达和纺锤体动力学。整个下午的研讨会的重点将是酵母功能基因组学，由于对遗传分析的巨大潜在影响，这是一个越来越受关注的话题。十位杰出的科学家将作为九次全体会议和讲习班的会议主席参加这次会议。帝国癌症研究基金会主任Paul Nurse将发表主题演讲。在与会议主席协商后，我们已经产生了一份99名可能发言者的名单，我们将从中最后选出大约66人。大多数发言者将于2001年7月和8月应邀发言，而我们计划在会前从提交的摘要中挑选其他发言者。将大力鼓励摘要未被选入平台讨论的与会者展示海报。会议将限于200名科学家，他们将根据他们的兴趣和专业知识进行选择，并特别努力增加女性，少数民族和年轻科学家的参与。我们这次会议的目标是继续保持过去六次会议所特有的高度兴奋和科学卓越。
