DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mouse is undoubtedly the premiere genetic system for a variety of mammalian studies. Significant advances have been made in a number of diverse fields using the mouse as a model system, in particular, in developmental biology, immunology, hematology, neurobiology, and oncology. Over the last two decades, there has been a dramatic increase in experimental studies in the mouse, largely as a result of striking technical and conceptual developments, culminating in the 2007 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine being awarded to three mouse geneticists "for their discoveries of principles for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by the use of embryonic stem cells". This conference application seeks support for the twenty-first of an annual series of meetings that has emerged as the premiere meeting for this field. The meeting series alternates between Cold Spring Harbor and a European venue, with the 2008 meeting to be held at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The proposed meeting on "Mouse Genetics & Genomics: Development & Disease" will assemble leaders in the field, junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students to discuss the latest research and to share information about new cutting-edge developments in the field. Topics to be discussed for the 2008 meeting will include Disease Models; Neurobiology; Germ Cells and Stem Cells; Epigenetics; Patterning; Organogenesis; Genetics; and Genomics. Given the diverse approaches currently employed in this field, communication among workers is essential to advance research and understanding of fundamental processes in mammalian development, and how these processes are disrupted in a variety of diseases. Oral presentations will be selected by the session chairs in consultation with the organizers. Each session will be chaired by two leading scientists in the field. Selected speakers will include graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty. The meeting will commence with a special lecture in honor of the late Rosa Beddington. There will also be two or three poster sessions where a majority of participants can present their work. The meeting will be of moderate size, and we expect 300-350 mouse geneticists and genomicists are expected in attendance.

描述（由申请人提供）：小鼠无疑是各种哺乳动物研究的首选遗传系统。 使用小鼠作为模型系统在许多不同领域取得了重大进展，特别是在发育生物学、免疫学、血液学、神经生物学和肿瘤学中。 在过去的二十年里，小鼠实验研究急剧增加，主要是由于惊人的技术和概念发展，最终在2007年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖被授予三位小鼠遗传学家，“因为他们发现了通过使用胚胎干细胞在小鼠中引入特定基因修饰的原理”。 此会议申请寻求对已成为该领域首要会议的年度系列会议中的第二十一次会议的支持。 该系列会议轮流在冷泉港和欧洲场地之间举行，2008年的会议将在冷泉港实验室举行。 拟议的“小鼠遗传学与基因组学：发育与疾病”会议将汇集该领域的领导者、初级教师、博士后研究员和研究生，讨论最新研究并分享有关该领域新前沿发展的信息。 2008年会议将讨论的主题包括疾病模型、神经生物学、生殖细胞和干细胞、表观遗传学、模式化、器官发生、遗传学和基因组学。 鉴于目前在这一领域采用的方法多种多样，工作人员之间的沟通对于促进研究和理解哺乳动物发育的基本过程以及这些过程如何在各种疾病中被破坏至关重要。 口头发言将由会议主席与组织者协商选定。 每次会议将由该领域的两位顶尖科学家主持。 选定的演讲者将包括研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师。 会议将以一场为已故的罗莎·贝丁顿荣誉的特别演讲开始。 还将有两三个海报会议，大多数与会者可以介绍他们的工作。 会议将是中等规模，我们预计将有300-350名小鼠遗传学家和基因组学家出席。
