DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks support for the conference on the Evolution of Caenorhabditis and Other Nematodes, to take place April 3-6, 2012, at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). This recently established biennial meeting brings together both senior and junior scientists who investigate evolutionary processes in diverse nematodes, including the famous model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and its relatives as well as plant-, animal-, and human-parasitic nematode species. Although C. elegans has served as an outstanding model organism of basic animal biology for many years, our understanding of evolutionary and ecological processes related to it and other Caenorhabditis species has begun to mature only in the last decade. Likewise, our understanding of evolution in the diverse nematode species that threaten the global health of humans and agriculture remains underdeveloped. This conference will advance knowledge in nematode evolution by bringing together researchers who apply complementary analytical approaches (e.g., genomics, laboratory evolution, and developmental biology methods) and will offer diverse biological perspectives (e.g., population genetics, molecular genetics, and disease biology) on nematode evolution. It will include sessions on fundamental evolutionary forces, evolution of development and reproductive mode, evolution of parasitism and pathogenesis, metagenomics and biodiversity, and computational genomics of both Caenorhabditis and other species of nematodes. Historically, research communities studying C. elegans, plant-parasitic nematodes, and animal-parasitic nematodes have attended different sets of scientific meetings and have thus undergone few fruitful interactions. In contrast, this conference has a proven track record of promoting positive scientific interactions among scientists working on different nematode systems. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Caenorhabditis elegans is a species of roundworm that has served as an outstanding model organism of basic animal biology for many years. Despite this, our understanding of evolutionary and ecological processes related to it and other Caenorhabditis species has begun to mature only in the last decade. Likewise, our understanding of evolution in the diverse nematode parasites that threaten the global health of humans and agriculture remains underdeveloped. The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory conference on the Evolution of Caenorhabditis and Other Nematodes will advance knowledge in the field of nematode evolution by bringing together scientists who investigate evolutionary processes in diverse nematodes, including C. elegans and its relatives as well as plant-, animal-, and human-parasitic species.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案为将于2012年4月3日至6日在冷泉港实验室（CSHL）举行的隐杆线虫和其他线虫进化会议寻求支持。这个最近成立的两年一次的会议汇集了高级和初级科学家，他们研究各种线虫的进化过程，包括著名的模式生物秀丽隐杆线虫及其亲戚，以及植物、动物和人类寄生的线虫物种。秀丽隐杆线虫作为基础动物生物学中一种杰出的模式生物已有多年的历史，但我们对秀丽隐杆线虫和其他秀丽隐杆线虫的进化和生态过程的认识直到最近十年才开始成熟。同样，我们对威胁全球人类健康和农业的各种线虫物种进化的理解仍然不够充分。本次会议将通过汇集应用互补分析方法（例如，基因组学，实验室进化和发育生物学方法）的研究人员来推进线虫进化的知识，并将提供关于线虫进化的不同生物学观点（例如，群体遗传学，分子遗传学和疾病生物学）。会议将包括基本进化力量、发育和生殖模式的进化、寄生和发病机制的进化、宏基因组学和生物多样性，以及隐杆线虫和其他种类线虫的计算基因组学。历史上，研究秀丽隐杆线虫、植物-寄生线虫和动物-寄生线虫的研究团体参加了不同的科学会议，因此很少有富有成效的互动。相比之下，这次会议有一个经过证明的记录
