DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funding for partial support of the Fifth International Conference on Primate Genomics, to be held in Houston, Texas in April 2012. As a result of recent significant advances in technologies for generating and analyzing DNA sequence data, there has been a dramatic acceleration of the pace of investigation and discovery in the field of nonhuman primate genetics and genomics. Genetic information for nonhuman primates is important because these species are uniquely valuable animal models for studies related to human disease, and because comparative analyses reveal new insights into the function and evolution of the human genome. Despite the increasing information available concerning the primate genomics, the relevant research community is separated across different disciplines, with insufficient opportunity for direct interaction and communication. To help address this problem, we will organize this three-day conference on primate genomics, April 18-20, 2012. Our two primary goals are to facilitate the exchange of new scientific information and ideas regarding the genetics and genomics of nonhuman primates, and to create opportunities for personal interaction among attendees, especially interactions that lead to new collaborations. While the effort invested in primate genomics is growing, there is no one meeting that is recognized as an effective venue for communication and interaction across this diverse research community. We expect approximately 175-200 attendees, including senior investigators, younger researchers, postdoctoral scientists and graduate students. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): This application requests support for the Fifth International Conference on Primate Genomics, to be held at the Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, TX) on April 18-20, 2012. Genetic and genomic information concerning nonhuman primates is important to biomedical research progress because primates are critical animal models for research related to numerous human diseases, and because comparative analyses of the human and primate genomes reveal new insights into the function of the human genome. Our primary goals for this conference are to facilitate the exchange of new scientific results and ideas regarding the genomics of nonhuman primates, and to create opportunities for personal interaction among attendees, especially interactions that lead to new scientific collaborations.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求资助将于2012年4月在德克萨斯州休斯顿举行的第五届灵长类动物基因组学国际会议的部分支持。由于最近在用于产生和分析DNA序列数据的技术方面的重大进展，在非人灵长类动物遗传学和基因组学领域中的研究和发现的步伐已经显著加快。非人灵长类动物的遗传信息很重要，因为这些物种是研究人类疾病的独特宝贵的动物模型，而且比较分析揭示了对人类基因组功能和进化的新见解。尽管有关灵长类动物基因组学的信息越来越多，但相关的研究界分散在不同的学科中，没有足够的机会进行直接互动和交流。为了帮助解决这个问题，我们将于2012年4月18日至20日组织为期三天的灵长类动物基因组学会议。我们的两个主要目标是促进有关非人类灵长类动物遗传学和基因组学的新科学信息和想法的交流，并为与会者之间的个人互动创造机会，特别是导致新合作的互动。虽然在灵长类动物基因组学方面投入的努力正在增加，但没有一个会议被认为是这个多样化研究社区之间交流和互动的有效场所。我们预计约有175-200名与会者，包括高级研究人员，年轻的研究人员，博士后科学家和研究生。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：本申请请求支持将于2012年4月18日至20日在贝勒医学院（德克萨斯州休斯顿）举行的第五届灵长类动物基因组学国际会议。关于非人灵长类动物的遗传和基因组信息对于生物医学研究进展是重要的，因为灵长类动物是与许多人类疾病相关的研究的关键动物模型，并且因为人类和灵长类动物基因组的比较分析揭示了对人类基因组功能的新见解。本次会议的主要目标是促进有关非人类灵长类动物基因组学的新科学成果和想法的交流，并为与会者之间的个人互动创造机会，特别是导致新科学合作的互动。
