DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for a conference grant for the Twelfth Microbial Genomes Conference (formerly the E. coli and Small Genomes Conference) to be held September 26-30, 2004, at the UCLA conference center at Lake Arrowhead, California. The genomics landscape has changed now that numerous genomes are available and that microarrays and bioinformatics methods are advancing rapidly. It is a critical time to foster multi-disciplinary approaches to making sense out of all the genomic sequence information. Considerable integration of different aspects of microbiology will undoubtedly take place, including new perspectives on evolution and the requirements for life. To achieve these goals, particularly of integration and synergy, scientists from diverse disciplines must interact. Thus, this conference will include active genome researchers, such as sequencing experts and informatics specialists working in database design, sequence analysis, or simulation; geneticists developing new methods to take advantage of genomic information, e.g. for functional analysis; and cell biologists and biochemists who have specialized in areas now ripe for genomics such as metabolism, chromosome structure, or gene regulation. One focus of this conference will also be on microbial communities and biodiversity. An additional focus will be on modeling and constructing circuits.and pathways. This meeting has become established as a major annual microbial genomics conference during the last twelve years and has assured status and quality.

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案是为第十二届微生物基因组会议(前身为E.Coli和小基因组会议)提供的会议资助，会议将于2004年9月26-30日在加州大学洛杉矶分校会议中心举行。基因组学的格局已经发生了变化，因为有了大量的基因组，微阵列和生物信息学方法也在迅速发展。现在是培养多学科方法来理解所有基因组序列信息的关键时刻。微生物学的不同方面无疑将发生相当大的整合，包括对进化和生命需求的新视角。为了实现这些目标，特别是整合和协同的目标，来自不同学科的科学家必须进行互动。因此，这次会议将包括活跃的基因组研究人员，如从事数据库设计、序列分析或模拟工作的测序专家和信息学专家；遗传学家开发利用基因组信息的新方法，例如用于功能分析；以及专门从事新陈代谢、染色体结构或基因调控等基因组学领域的细胞生物学家和生物化学家。这次会议的一个焦点还将是微生物群落和生物多样性。另一个重点将放在建模和构建电路和路径上。在过去的12年里，这次会议已经成为一个重要的年度微生物基因组学会议，并确保了其地位和质量。
