DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) This application seeks partial support for the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) conference on Yeast Chromosome Structure, Replication, and Segregation to be held July 13-18, 2014 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This will be the thirteenth bi-annual iteration of what has become the most successful and important meeting for this field. This conference aims to join investigators studying many diverse aspects of chromosome biology and cell biology in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, using a range of experimental approaches including genetics, cytology, biochemistry, single molecule imaging, molecular biology, genomics, and systems biology. Presentations will introduce new and unpublished work on timely questions in the field and will include discussion from all participants. The FASEB conference provides unique opportunities for the exchange of information and technology that can be appreciated and exploited for studies of chromosome biology in more complex experimental organisms and in humans. Environmental agents - including manmade air- and water-borne pollutants, electromagnetic radiation, and nicotine and other natural products - can have profound effects on the replication, segregation, and repair of chromosomes. Moreover, an organism's environment has a strong impact on gene expression patterns. As such, chromosomes are critical targets through which the environment exerts toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic effects. The cellular processes that maintain genome integrity in the face of insults from environmental and endogenous sources are thus of fundamental importance for human health and disease. Many critical questions in these areas remain unresolved, and yeasts are outstanding model organisms for addressing these questions because of the evolutionary conservation of many of the molecular mechanisms and proteins involved. Much of the conference will thus be devoted to topics firmly within the mission of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Changes in chromosome behaviors accompany normal cellular and organismal aging and contribute to age-related pathologies such as chromosome mis-segregation during meiosis, and human genetic diseases associated with aberrant DNA metabolism are often accompanied by hallmarks of premature aging. Yeasts have long played a dominant role in studies of the fundamental mechanisms underlying normal and pathological chromosome dynamics, thus the topics covered in this conference also support the missions of the National Institute on Aging.

描述(由申请人提供) 本申请寻求对将于2014年7月13日至18日在科罗拉多州斯普林斯举行的关于酵母染色体结构、复制和分离的美国实验生物学联合会(FASE B)会议的部分支持。这将是这一领域最成功和最重要的会议的第十三次半年度迭代。本次会议旨在加入研究人员的行列，利用遗传学、细胞学、生物化学、单分子成像、分子生物学、基因组学和系统生物学等一系列实验方法，研究芽期酵母酿酒酵母和裂殖酵母的染色体生物学和细胞生物学的许多不同方面。演讲将介绍关于实地及时问题的新的和未发表的工作，并将包括所有参与者的讨论。FASEB会议为交流信息和技术提供了独特的机会，可以欣赏和利用这些信息和技术来研究更复杂的实验生物体和人类的染色体生物学。 环境因素--包括人造空气和水基污染物、电磁辐射、尼古丁和其他天然产物--可以对染色体的复制、分离和修复产生深远的影响。此外，生物体的环境对基因表达模式有很大的影响。因此，染色体是环境施加有毒、诱变和致癌效应的关键靶标。因此，在面对环境和内源性来源的侮辱时保持基因组完整性的细胞过程对人类健康和疾病至关重要。这些领域的许多关键问题仍然没有解决，酵母是解决这些问题的优秀模式生物，因为涉及的许多分子机制和蛋白质在进化上是保守的。因此，会议的大部分时间都将专门讨论国家环境健康科学研究所的任务范围内的主题。染色体行为的改变伴随着正常的细胞和组织衰老，并导致与年龄相关的病理，如减数分裂过程中的染色体错误分离，而与DNA代谢异常相关的人类遗传病往往伴随着过早衰老的特征。长期以来，酵母菌在研究正常和病理染色体动力学的基本机制方面一直发挥着主导作用，因此，本次会议涵盖的主题也支持国家衰老研究所的使命。
