 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to provide partial support for the 7th International Symposium on the Biology of Vertebrate Sex Determination to be held in April of 2015. This meeting has been held at 3-year intervals since its inception in 1997. This unique meeting is attended by the entire international field, working on diverse vertebrate systems including amphibians, fishes, birds, reptiles, monotremes, marsupials, and eutherian mammals, including domesticated species, mice, and humans. It is nearly impossible to keep up with the advances made in so many diverse vertebrate systems. Therefore, the objective of this meeting is to exchange information, using a comparative approach to advance our understanding of the process of sex determination, sex differentiation and disorders of sexual development. Much collaboration resulted from the first six symposia: reagents were exchanged, experiments planned and new ways of looking at sex determination discussed. ~70% of the participants of the 6th symposium were junior scientists, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and assistant professors, providing a unique opportunity for interactions with senior leaders in the field. We expect the 7th symposium to be as productive and stimulating as the previous ones.

 描述(由申请者提供)：为将于2015年4月举行的第七届脊椎动物性别生物学国际研讨会提供部分资金支持。这一会议自1997年开始以来，每隔3年举行一次。整个国际领域都参加了这次独特的会议，研究不同的脊椎动物系统，包括两栖动物、鱼类、鸟类、爬行动物、单孔动物、有袋类和真兽类哺乳动物，包括驯养物种、老鼠和人类。要跟上这么多不同脊椎动物系统的进步几乎是不可能的。因此，这次会议的目的是交流信息，使用比较的方法来促进我们对性别决定、性别分化和性发育障碍的过程的理解。前六次研讨会带来了许多合作：交换了试剂，规划了实验，讨论了看待性别决定的新方法。第六届研讨会70%的与会者是初级科学家，包括研究生、博士后研究员和助理教授，这为与该领域的高级领导人互动提供了独特的机会。我们期待着第七届研讨会像前几届一样富有成效和激动人心。
