U.S. PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF GENETICS

第16届国际遗传学大会将在 大都会多伦多会议中心，多伦多，安大略， 加拿大，1988年8月20日至27日。 大会的主题将是 《遗传学与生物学的统一》 论文将于 的结构、行为、进化、病理学和工程学 基因组在生物学和系统发育组织的各个层面。 还将举行历史、哲学和社会方面的会议 遗传学方面。 该计划将分为五个主要部分 具体如下：一。基因和染色体，二。 基因组和 有机体，III. 人口和进化，四。 遗传学和 第五，生物技术。 每个部门将包含 专题讨论会、讲习班和海报。 此外，一系列11 全体讲座将给予这将代表一个集合， 我们这个时代最重要的遗传学家的演讲。 五年来的第一次大会将提供一个独特的环境 对于综合的一般概念达成了一个广泛的一套 不同的生物和系统。 它还将提供非常 关于重点专题的专门讲习班， 促进关于各种方法和 技术. 美国参与的主要目的是 通过交换信息来增强美国的遗传学， 将发生。 还应指出， 国会将在很大程度上取决于美国的参与 由于美国科学家在科学领域的主导地位， 遗传学领域。 美国遗传学会要求支持旅行和 200名美国科学家和50名学生的生活费， 参加第十六届国际遗传学大会。

The XVIth International Congress of Genetics will be held at the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Center, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, August 20-27, 1988. The theme of the Congress will be "Genetics and the Unity of Biology". Papers will be presented on the structure, behavior, evolution, pathology and engineering of genomes at all levels of biological and phylogenetic organization. There will also be sessions on historical, philosophical and social aspects of genetics. The program will be organized into five main divisions as follows: I. Genes and chromosomes, II. Genomes and organisms, III. Populations and evolution, IV. Genetics and society, and V. Biotechnology. Each division will contain symposia, workshops and posters. In addition, a series of 11 plenary lectures will be given which will represent a collection of talks by some of the foremost geneticists of our time. The Congress, the first in five years, will provide a unique setting for the synthesis of general concepts arrived at in a broad set of diverse organisms and systems. It will also provide very specialized workshops on focused topics, again allowing for stimulating cross fertilization of ideas on approaches and techniques. The primary purpose of U.S. participation is to enhance American genetics by the exchange of information that will take place. It should also be noted that success of the Congress will depend significantly upon American participation because of the predominant position of American scientists in the field of Genetics. The Genetics Society of America requests support for travel and living expenses for 200 American scientists and 50 students to participate in the XVIth International Congress of Genetics.
