DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 July 10-15, 2004 at Callaway Gardens, Georgia, as the eighth 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 2004 conference program will consist of nine scientific sessions, a functional genomics and proteomics workshop, a keynote address and two poster sessions. The scientific sessions will cover chromatin structure and silencing, nuclear architecture and telomeres, networks regulating DNA replication and segregation, checkpoints and genome stability, DNA replication control and mechanisms, mitotic spindle assembly and mechanisms and control of chromosome segregation. Ten distinguished scientists will participate in this conference as session chairs of the nine plenary sessions and the workshop. Kim Nasmyth, the Director of the Institute of Molecular Pathology in Vienna, will be giving the keynote address. We will invite 51 speakers and we plan to choose another 18 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 250 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 seven conferences.

描述(由申请人提供)：该提案请求部分支持美国实验生物学学会联合会(FASE B)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2004年7月10日至15日在佐治亚州卡拉维花园举行，这是两年一度的关于芽殖酵母和分裂酵母染色体研究的非常成功的系列会议的第八次会议。酵母染色体动力学的研究对人类生物学有着重要的影响，在癌症、细胞衰老和由于染色体传递缺陷而导致的非整倍体等领域具有医学意义。因此，这一快速变化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，FASEB主办的会议一直是这一领域最重要的新实验发现的交流中心。2004年的会议计划将包括九个科学会议、一个功能基因组学和蛋白质组学研讨会、一个主旨演讲和两个海报会议。科学会议将涉及染色质结构和沉默、核结构和端粒、调节DNA复制和分离的网络、检查点和基因组稳定性、DNA复制控制和机制、有丝分裂纺锤体组装和染色体分离的机制和控制。 十位杰出的科学家将作为九次全体会议和研讨会的届会主席参加这次会议。维也纳分子病理学研究所所长Kim Nasmyth将发表主旨演讲。我们将邀请51位发言者，我们计划在会前从提交的摘要中再选出18位发言者。未被选为平台演讲的参与者将被强烈鼓励展示海报。会议将限制为250名科学家，他们将根据他们的兴趣和专业知识进行选择，特别努力增加女性、少数民族和初级科学家的参与。我们这次会议的目标是继续保持过去七次会议所特有的极高水平的兴奋和卓越的科学水平。
