Southeastern Science Policy Colloquium

9507079 Grodzicker关于细菌和噬菌体的分子遗传学的会议是在原核分子生物学和遗传学的一般领域的新成果介绍的中心论坛。 代表200多个实验室（包括美国和国外）的约300名与会者出席了会议;绝大多数人要么发表简短的演讲，要么张贴海报。 它是学科交叉交流的重要场所;对于许多研究生和博士后研究员来说，它也是他们有机会发言的第一个大型会议。 这些摘要涵盖了广泛的范围，包括转录，重组，DNA合成，翻译，发病机制和其他领域的基础工作。 虽然具体的主题范围很广，但方法的共同性意味着新的概念和技术进步通过参加的实验室迅速传播。 1995年会议的特别之处在于它包括一次处理E.大肠杆菌基因组计划。 这将是一个完美的场所，基因组测序项目的总结报告和分析如何在基因组结构/功能研究中使用序列信息。 更重要的是，这次会议将提供一个理想的机会，鼓励有关科学界利用这一信息。 会议还将包括一个会议，其中一些创立分子生物学领域的科学家将在当时可用的技术背景下讨论该领域的知识根源。 生物技术领域是建立在对细菌和病毒的研究之上的。 冷泉港实验室一直是传播细菌遗传学最新信息的主要场所。 这次会议将提供一个总结，该领域已经从哪里来，以及在微生物遗传学的最新进展。 ***

9507079 Grodzicker The meeting on the Molecular Genetics of Bacteria and Phage is a central forum for the presentation of new results in the general area of prokaryotic molecular biology and genetics. Some 300 participants, representing more than 200 laboratories (both in the United States and abroad) attend; the vast majority present either short talks or posters. It is an important venue for the cross fertilization of the discipline; it is also, for many graduate students and postdoctoral fellow, the firs large meeting at which they have an opportunity to speak. The abstracts cover a wide range and include fundamental work on transcription, recombination, DNA synthesis, translation, pathogenesis, and other areas. Although the specific subjects are wide ranging, the commonality of approaches means that new conceptual and technical advances rapidly become disseminated through the attending laboratories. The 1995 meeting is special in that it includes a session dealing with the E. coli genome project. This will be the perfect venue for a summary report of the genome sequencing projects and analyses of how the sequence information can be used in genome structure/function studies. More importantly, this meeting will provide an ideal opportunity to stimulate the use of this information by the relevant scientific community. The meeting will also include a session in which some of the scientist who founded the field of molecular biology will discuss the intellectual roots of the field in the context of the then available technology. %%% The field of biotechnology is founded on research with bacteria and their viruses. The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has been the principal location where the latest information on bacterial genetics is disseminated. This meeting will provide a summary of where the field has come from as well as the latest progress in microbial genetics. ***
