FASEB Summer Research Conference on Yeast Chromosome Structure, Replication and Segregation, Snowmass Village, CO

美国实验生物学学会联合会（FASEB）将于1998年夏天主办一次关于酵母染色体结构、复制和分离的研究会议。 这次会议将是两年一次的系列会议中的第五次，重点是详细了解酵母染色体的组织，它们的复制和分离。 许多与会者认为，这些会议都非常成功。 事实上，许多与会者认为这是他们领域最重要的会议。 1998年再次召开的上一次会议的与会者一致支持。 会议的一个主要目标是将这一领域的一个相对较小的主要研究人员小组聚集在一起，讨论最近的工作成果，并为交流思想和信息提供尽可能好的环境。 这是专门讨论这一主题的唯一会议。 这一领域的许多科学家参加了这次会议。 此外，会议的组织者鼓励女性和少数民族研究人员以及较年轻、地位较低的科学家，包括博士后研究员和研究生参加会议。 染色体在所有生物的细胞核中携带遗传信息。 酵母染色体结构，复制和分离到子细胞的研究结果是相关的，我们的理解在所有真核生物中进行的染色体过程。

Hoyt 9812321 The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) is sponsoring a research conference on Yeast Chromosome Structure, Replication and Segregation in the summer of 1998. This meeting will be the fifth in a biennial series focused on understanding in detail the organization of yeast chromosomes, their replication and segregation. Each of these meetings was considered to be highly successful by many of the participants. In fact, many participants feel that this is the most important meeting in their field. There was unanimous support among the attendees of the last conference to convene again in 1998. A main objective of the conference is to bring together a relatively small group of leading researchers in this field to discuss the results of recent work and to provide the best possible circumstances for the exchange of ideas and information. It is the only conference specifically devoted to this topic. This meeting is very well attended by many scientists in this field. In addition, the organizers of the meeting encourage the participation of female and minority researchers and younger, less well established scientists, including postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. Chromosomes carry the genetic information in the nuclei of all organisms. Results of studies of yeast chromosome structure, replication and segregation to daughter cells are relevant to our understanding of the chromosomal processes carried out in all eukaryotes.
