DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Partial support is requested for the 2005 Gordon Research Conference on Nucleic Acids, to be held June 4-9, 2006, at Salve Regina University, Newport, Rhode Island. The purpose of the conference is to promote the exchange of ideas and information among scientists working at the forefront of research on the structure and function of nucleic acids. This meeting addresses the fundamental structures and mechanisms that are essential to normal growth and development and the perturbations of normal processes that underlie pathological states in cancer, hereditary disease and viral and microbial infections. The Nucleic Acids Gordon Research Conference traditionally attracts scientists from fields as diverse as biophysical chemistry, structural biology, cell biology and genetics, facilitating the kinds of cross-disciplinary exchanges that are rare in more specialized meetings. Formal research presentations at the 2006 Conference will emphasize basic biological processes including DNA replication, recombination and repair, RNA transcription, processing and transport, and protein synthesis as well as emerging areas of bioinformatics, and interfering and regulatory RNAs. In addition to representing the leading edge of research in these areas, speakers and session chairs will be chosen to reflect a balance in age, gender, and nationality. In addition to featuring an outstanding schedule of formal research presentations, the Conference will be organized in a way that promotes informal interactions among established senior scientists, young investigators and students considering careers in nucleic acids research. Participants are being recruited to the 2006 Conference based on their scientific accomplishments and their potential for careers in nucleic acids research. Special efforts will be made to emphasize research accomplishments of junior faculty, postdoctoral researchers and students in addition to established investigators. Considerable time is allotted for discussion following formal lectures. Poster sessions and optional recreational activities will stimulate informal interactions.

描述（由申请人提供）：2005年戈登核酸研究会议将于2006年6月4日至9日在罗得岛纽波特的萨尔夫里贾纳大学举行，要求部分支持。会议的目的是促进在核酸结构和功能研究前沿工作的科学家之间的思想和信息交流。这次会议讨论了对正常生长和发育至关重要的基本结构和机制，以及癌症、遗传性疾病、病毒和微生物感染病理状态下正常过程的扰动。核酸戈登研究会议传统上吸引了来自生物物理化学，结构生物学，细胞生物学和遗传学等不同领域的科学家，促进了在更专业的会议中罕见的跨学科交流。2006年会议的正式研究报告将强调基本的生物过程，包括DNA复制，重组和修复，RNA转录，加工和运输，蛋白质合成以及生物信息学的新兴领域，干扰和调节RNA。除了代表在这些领域的研究前沿，发言人和会议主席将被选择，以反映年龄，性别和国籍的平衡。除了具有正式研究报告的出色时间表外，会议将以促进资深科学家，年轻研究人员和考虑从事核酸研究的学生之间的非正式互动的方式组织。2006年会议的参与者是根据他们的科学成就和在核酸研究领域的职业潜力招募的。除了既定的研究人员外，还将特别努力强调初级教师、博士后研究人员和学生的研究成果。在正式讲座之后，分配了相当多的时间进行讨论。海报会议和可选的娱乐活动将促进非正式的互动。
