DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The nine sessions of the conference will be grouped around the following four subject areas: I. Population genetic and evolutionary analysis of mammalian mobile elements a. LINE-1 elements b. Alu elements II. Bioinformatic analysis of mobile elements in whole genome sequences and the impact of repeated DNA on human genome structure/function III. Functional analysis of autonomous and non-autonomous mobile elements a. Mobile elements in model eukaryotic genomes b. Mammalian mobile elements IV. Practical uses for engineered mobile elements a. Transposon mutagens b. Gene delivery agents Agreements to speak have been obtained from the two keynote speakers, all of the session chairs, and many of the speakers. About 12 additional speakers will be chosen from among the conference applicants to present 20-minute talks (including discussion) within the regular scientific sessions. Speakers will be chosen based on submitted abstracts (a fact that will be indicated in the conference advertising). Particular attention will be given in the selection of junior scientists, and women and under-represented minority scientists. This will be the second FASEB conference on the topic of mammalian mobile elements. Because of considerable new information gathered over the past decade, the study of mammalian mobile elements has become a hot topic for a wide variety of biologists and geneticists. The number of principal investigators in this field has expanded from around 5-10 ten years ago to greater than 50 today. In response to this rapid growth, we organized a FASEB meeting on Mobile Elements in Mammalian Genomes, which took place in June 2005. The meeting was attended by eighty-two of our colleagues (56 male and 26 female) and many felt that it was the best meeting they have ever attended on the topic. In this proposal, we request funding for a second meeting on Mobile Elements in Mammalian Genomes to take place in June 2007.

描述（由申请人提供）：会议的九个会议将围绕以下四个主题领域分组：I。哺乳动物移动的分子的群体遗传和进化分析。第1行元素B。Alu元素2.全基因组序列中移动的元件的生物信息学分析和重复DNA对人类基因组结构/功能的影响III。自主和非自主移动的元件的功能分析。模型真核基因组中的移动的元件B.哺乳动物的移动的元素工程移动的元件的实际用途a.转座子诱变剂B。基因传递剂 两位主旨发言人、所有会议主席和许多发言人都同意发言。将从会议申请者中选出大约12名额外的演讲者，在常规科学会议中进行20分钟的演讲（包括讨论）。发言人将根据提交的摘要选择（这一事实将在会议广告中注明）。将特别注意挑选年轻科学家、妇女和代表性不足的少数民族科学家。 这将是第二次FASEB会议的主题哺乳动物移动的元素。由于在过去十年中收集了大量的新信息，哺乳动物移动的元件的研究已成为各种生物学家和遗传学家的热门话题。这一领域的主要研究者人数从10年前的5-10人左右增加到今天的50多人。为了应对这种快速增长，我们于2005年6月组织了一次关于哺乳动物基因组中移动的元素的FASEB会议。我们有82名同事（56名男性和26名女性）参加了这次会议，许多人认为这是他们参加过的关于该主题的最好的会议。在这项提案中，我们要求为将于2007年6月举行的关于哺乳动物基因组中移动的元素的第二次会议提供资金。
