The 29th Fungal Genetics Conference will be held at the Asilomar Conference Center from March 14-19, 2017. This conference is one of the longest running and premiere meetings for fungal biologists. Approximately 950 scientists and students from around the US and the world will attend. A primary goal of this biennial meeting is to promote the dissemination of the latest research on all aspects of the biology of fungi with a focus on filamentous fungi. Another important goal is to promote communication and collaboration between Medical Mycologists and those working with fungal plant pathogens, saprotrophic fungi and symbiotic fungi. This has led to significant recruitment of mycologists to join the Medical Mycology research community. A better understanding of the biology and interactions of fungi with their hosts and environment continues to lead to development of new therapeutics to treat fungal diseases. The meeting will consist of four plenary sessions, four sets of concurrent sessions, and three poster sessions. Topics of the four plenary sessions are: Model fungi: biological insights beyond the kingdom, Applied mycology: superpowers of fungal heroes and villains, Systems biology: genes, genomics & genome structure and Sensing and signaling: perception of the complex world in which fungi thrive or survive. The 28 concurrent session topics include: Early-diverging fungi, Human pathogenic fungi, Circadian rhythms and photobiology, Plant-fungus interactions, Evolution and mechanisms of antifungal drug resistance, Population genomics, Fungi in the microbiome, Big data, Secondary metabolism, Mating and clonality in fungi, Fungal-bacterial interactions, Epigenetics and post-transcriptional control mechanisms, Symbiosis and commensalism, Cell Communication, Cell walls and polysaccharides, Effectors and small secreted cysteine-rich proteins, Fungi in society, Fungal multicellular development, Signal transduction and gene regulatory networks, Magnitude of fungi biodiversity, Disease epidemiology, Cytoskeletal dynamics and septa, Synthetic biology, fungal tools and fungi as tools, and Chromosome dynamics. Eight of the sixteen plenary session speakers have direct relevance to medically important fungi and eight of the 23 concurrent sessions having a significant focus on or relevance to medical mycology. Many of the other concurrent sessions will include talks on medically relevant fungi. This meeting places a strong emphasis on the participation of young scientists and students, particularly those from underrepresented groups. Many have their first opportunity to present their research at a major international conference. Funds are requested to help defray the travel and participation costs of students, postdoctoral researchers and some young scientists, and will be distributed on a need basis.

第29届真菌遗传学大会将于2017年3月14日至19日在阿西洛玛会议中心举行。 这次会议是真菌生物学家持续时间最长、最早召开的会议之一。大约950 来自美国和世界各地的科学家和学生将参加。这次两年一度的会议的一个主要目标是 促进传播真菌生物学各方面的最新研究成果，重点是 丝状真菌。另一个重要目标是促进医务人员之间的沟通与合作 真菌学家和研究真菌植物病原体、腐生真菌和共生真菌的人。这导致了 大量招募真菌学家加入医学真菌学研究社区。更好的 对真菌的生物学及其与宿主和环境的相互作用的了解继续导致 治疗真菌疾病的新疗法的开发。会议将由四次全体会议组成，四次 一组并发会话和三个Poster会话。四个全体会议的主题是：模型真菌： 超越王国的生物学洞察，应用真菌学：真菌英雄和恶棍的超能力，系统 生物学：基因、基因组学和基因组结构以及传感和信号：对复杂世界的感知 哪些真菌能茁壮成长或存活下来。28个会议主题包括：早期发散真菌，人类致病 真菌，昼夜节律和光生物学，植物-真菌相互作用，进化和抗真菌机制 耐药性，种群基因组，微生物组中的真菌，大数据，次生代谢，交配和 真菌的克隆性，真菌-细菌的相互作用，表观遗传学和转录后控制机制， 共生和共生，细胞通讯，细胞壁和多糖，效应器和小分子 富含半胱氨酸的分泌型蛋白，真菌在社会中，真菌多细胞发育，信号转导和基因 管理网络，真菌生物多样性的大小，疾病流行病学，细胞骨架动力学和隔膜， 合成生物学、真菌工具和真菌工具，以及染色体动力学。 在16位全体会议的发言者中，有8位与医学上重要的真菌有直接关系，而在 23个同时举行的会议，主要关注或与医学真菌学相关。其他许多人 同时举行的会议将包括与医学相关的真菌的讲座。 这次会议非常重视青年科学家和学生的参与，特别是那些 来自代表不足的群体。许多人第一次有机会在一个重要的国际会议上展示他们的研究成果 会议。请拨资金帮助支付学生、博士后和博士后的旅费和参与费 研究人员和一些青年科学家，并将根据需要分发。
