DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Partial support is requested for the 2008 Gordon Research Conference on Nucleic Acids, to be held June 1-6, 2008, at Salve Regina University, Newport, Rhode Island. The Nucleic Acids Gordon Research Conference serves as a key venue for the first reports of important discoveries on the structure and function of nucleic acids. Traditionally attracting scientists from fields as diverse as biophysical chemistry, structural biology, cell biology and genetics, this Gordon Conference facilitates cross-disciplinary exchanges that are rare in more specialized meetings. The meeting addresses the fundamental roles of DNA and RNA in normal growth and development and in the pathological states that underlie cancer, hereditary disease and viral and microbial infections. Formal research presentations at the 2008 Conference will emphasize basic biological processes including epigenetics, DNA replication, cellular responses to DNA damage, RNA transcription, processing and transport, and ribosome assembly, as well as emerging areas of bioinformatics, and the regulation of gene expression by 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. The Conference will also promote informal interactions among established senior scientists, young investigators and students considering careers in nucleic acids research, in addition to featuring an outstanding schedule of formal research presentations. For example, considerable time is allotted for discussion following formal lectures. Poster sessions and optional recreational activities will further stimulate informal interactions. Participants are being recruited to the 2008 Conference based on their scientific accomplishments and their potential for careers in nucleic acids research. Underrepresented minorities will be especially encouraged to attend. Special efforts will be made to emphasize research accomplishments of junior faculty, postdoctoral researchers and students in addition to established investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：部分支持是要求为2008年戈登研究会议核酸，将于2008年6月1日至6日，在萨尔夫里贾纳大学，纽波特，罗得岛。核酸戈登研究会议是关于核酸结构和功能的重要发现的第一次报告的重要场所。传统上吸引来自生物物理化学，结构生物学，细胞生物学和遗传学等不同领域的科学家，这次戈登会议促进了在更专业的会议中罕见的跨学科交流。会议讨论了DNA和RNA在正常生长和发育以及癌症、遗传性疾病、病毒和微生物感染的病理状态中的基本作用。2008年会议的正式研究报告将强调基本的生物过程，包括表观遗传学，DNA复制，细胞对DNA损伤的反应，RNA转录，加工和运输，核糖体组装，以及生物信息学的新兴领域，以及RNA对基因表达的调控。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。会议还将促进资深科学家、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，此外还将安排一系列正式的研究报告。例如，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进一步促进非正式的互动。2008年会议的与会者是根据他们的科学成就和他们在核酸研究领域的职业潜力招募的。将特别鼓励代表性不足的少数群体参加。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。
