The Allied Genetics Conference

项目摘要/摘要：联合遗传学会议 将于2020年4月举行的联合遗传学会议(TAGC)将汇集超过 来自世界各地的4000名研究人员分享最新发现和技术 遗传学和基因组学的进展。TAGC是六种不同模式的联合会议 生物研究社区：果蝇、线虫、酵母(酿酒酵母)、斑马鱼、 非洲爪哇，和哺乳动物(老鼠)，以及种群，进化，和数量 遗传学(PEQG)社区。 美国遗传学会(GSA)长期以来一直赞助这些模式生物的会议 研究社区。这些会议有助于使模型生物体走在前列。 生物学研究，特别是在遗传学领域，并培养了每个人的凝聚力 帮助他们变得如此高效的社区。但完整的基因组序列 大约20年前开始出现，再次强调了生物学的基本统一性-所有 生物体基本上是由相同的一组基因组成的。GSA的领导层认为 这些社区应该更紧密地联系在一起。信息共享和 由此产生的合作肯定会加深对生物学的理解。 2016年，GSA在第一届TAGC上将这些社区聚集在一起。那次会议是 7个单独会议(线虫、纤毛虫、果蝇、老鼠、PEQ、酵母、 斑马鱼)，所有与会者齐聚一堂，在3个全体会议上 扬声器。但因为大多数与会者告诉了我们更多关于下一届TAGC的会议 应该围绕主题而不是有机体来组织，突出生物学和 生活规则，而不是按有机体组织的，TAGC 2020将具有相同数量的 跨有机体和特定生物体的编程。这将把社区凝聚在一起 围绕生物学主题，同时仍然使每个社区能够交换特定于生物体的 信息，并保持其身份。除了同时进行主题(泛有机体)和 有机体专题会议，会议将包括4个主题演讲的全体会议，以及 与会者，特别是早期职业研究人员感兴趣的其他程序。

Project Summary/Abstract: The Allied Genetics Conference The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC), to be held in April of 2020, will bring together over 4000 investigators from around the world to share recent discoveries and technological advances in genetics and genomics. TAGC is a combined conference of six different model organism research communities: Drosophila, C. elegans, yeast (S. cerevisiae), Zebrafish, Xenopus, and mammalian (mouse), along with the Population, Evolutionary, and Quantitative Genetics (PEQG) community. The Genetics Society of America (GSA) has long sponsored meetings of these model organism research communities. Those meetings contributed to bringing model organisms to the forefront of biological research, especially in the area of genetics, and fostered the cohesiveness of each community that helped make them so productive. But the complete genome sequences that started appearing about 20 years ago reemphasized the fundamental unity of biology—all organisms are built from essentially the same set of genes. The leadership of the GSA believes these communities should be brought closer together. The sharing of information and the collaborations that will result are sure to lead to a deeper understanding of biology. The GSA brought these communities together in 2016 at the first TAGC. That conference was an aggregation of 7 individual meetings (C. elegans, Ciliates, Drosophila, Mouse, PEQ, Yeast, Zebrafish), with all attendees coming together in 3 plenary sessions featuring well-recognized speakers. But because a majority of attendees told us more of the sessions at the next TAGC should be organized around topics rather than organism, highlighting the unity of biology and rules of life, rather than organized by organism, TAGC 2020 will feature an equal amount of cross-organismal and organism-specific programming. This will bring the communities together around biological topics while still enabling each community to exchange organism-specific information and maintain its identity. In addition to concurrent topical (pan-organism) and organism-specific sessions, the meeting will feature 4 plenary sessions of keynote talks, and additional programming of interest to attendees, especially early career researchers.
