Eighteenth Microbial Genomes Conference

描述(由申请人提供)： 摘要 PI：Miller，Jeffrey H Project：1R13AI091176-01标题：第18届微生物基因组会议登录号：3255477 = 注意：此摘要摘自应用程序，未经SRA校对。如果应用程序扫描过程有问题，提取的文本可能不正确或不完整。 = 这项提案是为将于2010年9月12-15日在加州大学洛杉矶分校会议中心举行的第十八届微生物基因组学大会(前身为E.Coli和小基因组会议，以及微生物基因组会议)提供会议赠款。基因组学的格局已经改变，因为有大量的基因组可用，微阵列和生物信息学方法正在迅速发展，整个微生物群落都可以在序列水平上进行调查。现在是时候培养多学科方法来定义和解决问题了。微生物学的不同方面无疑将发生相当大的整合，包括对进化和生命需求的新视角。为了实现这些目标，特别是整合和协同的目标，来自不同学科的科学家必须进行互动。因此，这次会议将包括活跃的基因组研究人员，如从事数据库设计、序列分析或模拟工作的测序专家和信息学专家；遗传学家开发利用基因组信息的新方法，例如用于功能分析；以及专门从事新陈代谢、染色体结构或基因调控等基因组学领域的细胞生物学家和生物化学家。这次会议的一个焦点将是微生物群落和生物多样性，包括人类微生物群。重点还将放在病原体上，包括那些与胃癌有关的病原体和生物制剂。这直接关系到人类的健康。在过去的18年里，这次会议已经成为一个重要的年度微生物基因组学会议，并确保了其地位和质量。这次会议涉及微生物的分子遗传学，包括病原体、那些导致胃癌的微生物和生物医学。促进这些微生物的检测和指纹分析的方法，以及了解它们的基因组如何与它们的功能相关，以及定义人类微生物组，这些都是会议上的所有议题，都与人类健康直接相关。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Abstract PI: MILLER, JEFFREY H Project: 1R13AI091176-01 Title: Eighteenth Microbial Genomes Conference Accession Number: 3255477 ================== NOTICE: THIS ABSTRACT WAS EXTRACTED FROM APPLICATION AND HAS NOT BEEN PROOFED BY AN SRA.WHEN THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE APPLICATION SCANNING PROCESS, THE EXTRACTED TEXT MAY BE INCORRECT OR INCOMPLETE. ================== This proposal is for a conference grant for the Eighteenth Microbial Genomics Conference (formerly the E. coli and Small Genomes Conference, and the Microbial Genomes Conference) to be held September 12-15, 2010, at the UCLA Conference Center at Lake Arrowhead, California. The genomics landscape has changed now that numerous genomes are available and that microarrays and bioinformatics methods are advancing rapidly, and that whole microbial communities are open to investigation at the sequence level. It is timely to foster multi-disciplinary approaches to define and solve problems. Considerable integration of different aspects of microbiology will undoubtedly take place, including new perspectives on evolution and the requirements for life. To achieve these goals, particularly of integration and synergy, scientists from diverse disciplines must interact. Thus, this conference will include active genome researchers, such as sequencing experts and informatics specialists working in database design, sequence analysis, or simulation; geneticists developing new methods to take advantage of genomic information, e.g. for functional analysis; and cell biologists and biochemists who have specialized in areas now ripe for genomics such as metabolism, chromosome structure, or gene regulation. One focus of this conference will be on microbial communities and biodiversity, including the human microbiome. A focus will also be on pathogens, including those involved in gastric cancers, and biothreat agents. This has a direct bearing on human health. This meeting has become established as a major annual microbial genomics conference during the last eighteen years and has assured status and quality. This conference deals with the molecular genetics of microorganisms, including pathogens, those that lead to gastric cancer, and biothreats. Methods facilitating the detection and fingerprinting of these microorganisms, as well as understanding how their genomes relate to their functions, and defining the human microbiome, all topics at the conference, are directly related to human health.
