Nucleic Acids Gordon Conference, 2007

核酸是生命的核心。核酸戈登会议对分子生物学的发展起到了重要的历史作用。在2007年，我们继续在DNA和RNA生物学，化学和生物物理学领域混合扬声器的悠久传统。这些十字路口孕育着创新、创造和发现。主讲人是关于端粒酶的伊丽莎白·布莱克本（Elizabeth Blackburn），以及最近的诺贝尔奖得主罗杰·科恩伯格（Roger Kornberg），他将谈论转录。主题演讲将在周日晚上开始。在接下来的4天里，总共将举行8场会议，包括许多世界领先的核酸研究科学家。主题将包括转录起始和激活、DNA损伤识别、DNA动力学和核小体、端粒和端粒酶、翻译及其调控、剪接、RNA干扰和核酶。虽然会议代表了对核酸领域的广泛调查，但每次会议都进行了相当深入的探讨。会议主席将提供定义每个主题前沿的问题概述。会议将在上午和晚上举行，下午免费提供海报会议和参与者之间的讨论。核酸戈登会议在向更广泛的核酸生物学家和化学家社区传播新信息方面具有核心重要性，并且是吸引学生和年轻研究人员进入社区的重要工具。核酸是生命和疾病病因学的核心。核酸戈登会议是讨论生物学中关键分子问题的十字路口。这次会议的结果将是传播知识，最终产生人类疾病的治疗方法。

DESCRIPTION: Nucleic acids are the core of life. The Nucleic Acids Gordon Conference has a played a key historical role in the development of molecular biology. In 2007, we continue the long tradition of mixing speakers in areas of DNA and RNA biology, chemistry and biophysics. These crossroads nurture innovation, creativity and discovery. The keynote speakers will be Elizabeth Blackburn, speaking on telomerase, and recent Nobel laureate, Roger Kornberg, speaking on transcription. The keynote lectures will open the meeting on Sunday evening. A total of 8 sessions will be held over the next 4 days, including many of the world's leading scientists in nucleic acids research. Topics will include transcription initiation and activation, recognition of DNA damage, DNA dynamics and the nucleosome, and telomeres and telomerase, translation and its regulation, splicing, RNA interference and ribozymes. While the sessions represent a broad survey of the nucleic acids field, each dives into considerable depth. An overview of the questions defining the frontier of each topic will be provided by the session chair. Sessions will occur in the morning and evening, with afternoons free for poster sessions and discussion among participants. The Nucleic Acids Gordon Conference has central importance in disseminating new information to the broader community of nucleic acid biologists and chemists, and is an important vehicle to engage students and young researchers into the community. . Nucleic acids are central to life and disease etiology. The nucleic acid Gordon Conference is a crossroads of discussion of key molecular issues in biology. The results of this meeting will be dissemination of knowledge that will yield eventual therapies for human disease.
