DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks partial financial support for the "Tenth International Meeting on Ciliate Molecular Biology," which will be held as a FASEB Summer Research Conference at the Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, Vermont, from July 19-24, 2003. The meeting will bring together 160-170 researchers from a variety of countries who employ molecular approaches for investigating diverse biological problems using ciliated protozoa as their model system. Historically, work on ciliated protozoa has provided a number of remarkable insights into important and universal biological processes, including the discovery of self-splicing RNA, telomeres and telomerase, and chromatin remodeling by histone acetyltransferases. The continued development of molecular tools for these organisms has made them favorable models for studying numerous biological processes shared with a wide variety of eukaryotic organisms, including humans. This meeting seeks to bring together investigators from these various fields that are united by their use of ciliates as models, in order to foster the efficient exchange of unpublished research results and technical advances. Ten platform sessions will be held at the conference, along with two workshops and two poster sessions. The topics of the platform sessions represent active areas of current ciliate research, including "Chromatin Structure and Function," "DNA Replication, Repair, and Telomeres," "Cytoskeleton and Cell Motility," "Protein Trafficking and Regulated Secretion," and "Evolution and Population Biology." In addition, there will be a session on "Genetics, Genomics, and Molecular Technology," as well as a workshop on "Functional Genomics and Bioinformatics." Similar events at the 2001 FASEB conference on Ciliate Molecular Biology were instrumental for the planning of ciliate genome sequencing efforts, which are now coming to fruition. The session and workshop at the 2003 meeting are intended to further plan and develop bioinformatic and post-genomic resources for ciliates, as this would further increase the value of these model organisms for investigating fundamental biological problems of broad relevance.

描述（由申请人提供）： 本申请寻求对“第十届国际纤毛虫分子生物学会议”的部分财政支持，该会议将于2003年7月19-24日在佛蒙特州萨克顿河的佛蒙特学院举行，作为FASEB夏季研究会议。 会议将汇集来自不同国家的160-170名研究人员，他们采用分子方法，以纤毛原生动物为模型系统研究各种生物学问题。 从历史上看，纤毛虫原生动物的工作提供了一些显着的见解重要和普遍的生物过程，包括发现自我剪接RNA，端粒和端粒酶，染色质重塑组蛋白乙酰转移酶。 这些生物体的分子工具的持续发展使它们成为研究包括人类在内的各种真核生物体共享的许多生物过程的有利模型。 本次会议旨在汇集来自这些不同领域的研究人员，他们通过使用纤毛虫作为模型而团结在一起，以促进未发表的研究成果和技术进步的有效交流。 大会将举办十场平台会议，沿着举办两次研讨会和两次海报会议。 平台会议的主题代表了当前纤毛虫研究的活跃领域，包括“染色质结构和功能”，“DNA复制，修复和端粒”，“细胞骨架和细胞运动性”，“蛋白质运输和调节分泌”和“进化和种群生物学”。此外，将有一个关于“遗传学，基因组学和分子技术”的会议，以及一个关于“功能基因组学和生物信息学”的研讨会。“2001年FASEB关于纤毛虫分子生物学的会议上的类似事件有助于规划纤毛虫基因组测序工作，现在正在取得成果。 2003年会议的会议和讲习班旨在进一步规划和开发纤毛虫的生物信息学和后基因组资源，因为这将进一步增加这些模式生物的价值，以研究具有广泛相关性的基本生物学问题。
