DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funds to support vector biologists to attend the 8th annual Arthropod Genomics Symposium (AGS) to be held at the University of Illinois campus June 12 -14, 2014. The AGS is the international forum for arthropod genomics research and fosters technology and knowledge exchange between bioinformatics, genomics, and fundamental and applied arthropod research. While the philosophy of the symposium is to cover a broad range of phylogenetic arthropod groups, a substantial focus has been on arthropod vectors of human disease. The 2014 symposium will be an open meeting of approximately 230 participants. The meeting will be preceded by a one day RNAseq Workshop that concludes in time for the AGC Symposium. The meeting agenda will offer a keynote speaker and invited speakers presenting in sessions the areas of i5K/1kite, Vector Genomics, Social Insects, Population genomics, Comparative Genomics, and Microbiomes. The program will be augmented by shorter talks chosen from submitted poster abstracts, and two poster sessions for which anticipate 60-70 posters based on past participation. Our over-arching goal is to increase genomics research in the field of vector biology. Progress towards this goal will be achieved through the following specific aims: (1) supplementing genomics training for early stage vector biologists; (2) Recruiting arthropod genomics researchers to the vector biology field; and (3) exposing non- vector arthropod genomics researchers to the field of vector biology we propose to support the travel of accomplished vector biologists working in the genomics field to present their work. The significance of this application lays in the key function of genomic information to modern vector biology research. Its innovation is the AGS's unique ability to bring together experts in vector biology, genomics, bioinformatics, and genomics technology developers. The meeting is public health relevant as research capacity building in cutting edge genomics research is crucial for the development of novel tools to combat and prevent vector-borne diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求资助载体生物学家参加将于2014年6月12日至14日在伊利诺伊大学校园举行的第8届年度节肢动物基因组学研讨会（AGS）。AGS是节肢动物基因组学研究的国际论坛，促进生物信息学、基因组学、基础和应用节肢动物研究之间的技术和知识交流。虽然专题讨论会的理念是涵盖广泛的系统发育节肢动物群，但实质性的重点是人类疾病的节肢动物媒介。2014年专题讨论会将是一次公开会议，约有230人参加。会议之前将举行为期一天的RNAseq研讨会，该研讨会将在AGC研讨会之前结束。会议议程将提供一个主旨发言人和特邀发言人在会议上介绍i5 K/1 kite，矢量基因组学，社会昆虫，人口基因组学，比较基因组学和微生物组学领域。该计划将通过从提交的海报摘要中选择的简短演讲和两个海报会议来增强，根据过去的参与情况，预计将有60-70张海报。我们的首要目标是增加载体生物学领域的基因组学研究。实现这一目标的进展将通过以下具体目标来实现：（1）补充早期阶段载体生物学家的基因组学培训;（2）招募节肢动物基因组学研究人员到载体生物学领域;（3）使非载体节肢动物基因组学研究人员接触载体生物学领域。我们建议支持在基因组学领域工作的有成就的载体生物学家旅行，以展示他们的工作。这一应用的意义在于基因组信息对现代载体生物学研究的关键作用。它的创新是AGS的独特能力，汇集了载体生物学，基因组学，生物信息学和基因组学技术开发人员的专家。该会议与公共卫生有关，因为尖端基因组学研究方面的研究能力建设对于开发防治病媒传播疾病的新工具至关重要。
