项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal is to fund the Ninth International Tunicate Meeting to be held at New York University, from July 16th to July 21st, 2017. This meeting attracts the international community of researchers using tunicates as model organisms for a broad range of studies, including cell and developmental biology, neurobiology and immunity, post-embryonic development and regeneration, genetics and genomics, ecology and evolution. Tunicates are the closest living relatives and comprise thousands of species that roam the oceans worldwide. For each one of the above topics, tunicates provide unique advantages as model organisms: for cell and developmental biology, they display simple embryos with fixed lineages that allows chordate development to be studied with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution; for neurobiology, they possess an extremely simplified central nervous system containing only ~150 neurons. A fully characterized synaptome and simple swimming behavior; for immunity, colonial ascidians possess the only established allorecognition system outside of vertebrates; for evolution, the stereotyped early development of ascidians remained virtually unchanged in the face of over 450 million years of profound genome divergence, making them the best test-bed to study developmental systems drift; finally, tunicates are poised to provide important multidisciplinary insights into the impact of global environmental changes on marine communities. The above topics will be covered through approximately eight plenary sessions, two formal poster sessions and two keynote lectures. A scientific committee representative of the diversity of the field has been defined and will be tasked with selecting abstracts for oral presentations, paying particular attention to appropriate representation of diverse groups, especially trainees. A career panel workshop will address the particularities and opportunities using tunicates as model systems in academia. A round table discussion will be held in a town hall meeting format to discuss community-wide issue such as developing genomic resources (e.g. reagents for CRISPR/Cas9 or RNAi), defining guidelines and best practices, developing, distributing and maintaining experimental and database resources). Social functions will further encourage informal interactions and foster creative discussions. As for previous versions of the meeting, the proceedings will be published either through a single meeting report and/or by partnering with a sponsoring published to produce a dedicated journal issue made up of several papers focused on tunicates. This version of the international tunicate meeting promises to be particularly vibrant as suggested by the initial enthusiasm generated by our announcement to hold it in New York City.

项目摘要这项提议是为了资助将于2000年7月在纽约大学举行的第九届国际被囊动物会议 2017年7月16日至21日。这次会议吸引了国际社会的研究人员使用被囊动物作为广泛研究的模式生物，包括细胞和发育生物学，神经生物学和免疫、胚胎后发育和再生、遗传学和基因组学、生态学和进化。被囊动物是最接近的亲属，包括成千上万的物种，漫游在世界各地的海洋。对于上述每一个主题，被囊动物作为模式生物提供了独特的优势：细胞和在发育生物学上，他们展示了具有固定谱系的简单胚胎，这使得脊索动物的发育可以被以前所未有的空间和时间分辨率进行研究;对于神经生物学来说，它们具有极其重要的意义。简化的中枢神经系统，只有约150个神经元。一个完全特征化的突触体和简单的游泳行为;对于免疫，殖民海鞘拥有唯一建立的同种识别系统在进化论中，海鞘类的早期发展模式实际上仍然存在，面对超过4.5亿年的深刻基因组差异，它们没有改变，使它们成为最好的测试平台。研究发展系统漂移;最后，被囊类动物准备提供重要的多学科深入了解全球环境变化对海洋社区的影响。上述主题将在通过大约八次全体会议、两次正式海报会议和两次主旨演讲进行了介绍。一已经确定了代表该领域多样性的科学委员会，其任务是选择口头报告的摘要，特别注意适当的表达不同的尤其是学员。职业小组研讨会将讨论特殊性和机会，被囊动物作为学术界的模型系统。将以市政厅会议的形式举行圆桌讨论，讨论社区范围内的问题，如开发基因组资源（例如CRISPR/Cas9或RNAi试剂），制定指导方针和最佳做法，开发、分发和维护实验数据库资源）。社交功能将进一步鼓励非正式的互动和促进创造性的讨论。至于会议记录将通过单一的会议报告发布，和/或通过与赞助出版商合作，制作由几个专注于被囊动物的论文这个版本的国际被囊动物会议承诺特别是正如我们宣布在纽约市举行会议所产生的最初热情所表明的那样，这次会议充满活力。
