FASEB Conference - Transcriptional Regulation In Cell Growth and Development To Be Held In Snowmass, CO on July 25-30, 1998.

Struhl 9813438通过转录调控基因是所有生物系统共有的基本过程。转录调控是细胞行为的关键方面，包括增殖、对环境信号的反应、分化和多细胞生物体的发育。该奖项为夏季FASE B会议提供部分资金，题为“细胞生长和发育过程中的转录调控”。这次会议的目的是将致力于研究广泛转录过程的研究人员聚集在一起，使用不同的方法和生物系统。其目标是深入了解这一迅速扩大的领域，以便能够迅速传播特定领域的实验和概念进展并将其应用于新的问题。会议的每一次会议都分组讨论，重点讨论基因调控关键研究领域的不同方法。这些会议旨在提供关于转录激活和抑制的基本机制、染色质结构、对基因表达的长期和表观遗传效应以及它们与环境信号反应、发育和细胞周期控制的生物学关系的最新进展。会议将强调转录调控在正常分化和发育中发挥的重要作用。将讨论广泛物种(酵母、蠕虫、苍蝇、哺乳动物)的转录和生物调节机制，以便了解它们的相似和不同之处。会议将于1998年7月25日至30日在科罗拉多州的斯诺马斯举行。会议将包括正式演讲、非正式海报会议、讨论时段，以及与会科学家之间充分的互动机会。与会者将包括首席研究员、博士后研究员和研究生。这次会议将提供生物学中最基本和最迅速发展的领域之一的最新和具有成本效益的概述，并有望为进一步的研究制定战略。

Struhl 9813438 Gene regulation through transcription is a fundamental process common to all biological systems. Transcriptional regulation underlies critical aspects of cell behavior including proliferation, response to environmental signals, differentiation, and the development of multicellular organisms. This award provides partial funding for a summer FASEB conference entitled "Transcriptional Regulation During Cell Growth and Development." The intent of this conference is to bring together researchers engaged in studying a broad range of transcriptional processes using different methodologies and biological systems. The goal is to provide an in-depth view of this rapidly expanding field so that experimental and conceptual advances in specific areas can be rapidly disseminated and applied to new problems. Each session of the conference groups together talks that focus on different approaches to key areas of research of gene regulation. The sessions are designed to provide an overview of recent advances in knowledge of fundamental mechanisms of transcriptional activation and repression, chromatin structure, long-range and epigenetic effects on gene expression, and their relationship to the biology of response to environmental signals, development, and cell-cycle control. The conference will underscore the important role that transcriptional regulation plays in normal differentiation and development. Transcriptional and biological regulatory mechanisms across a wide range of species (yeast, worms, flies, mammals) will be discussed so that the similarities and differences can be appreciated. The conference will be held at Snowmass, Colorado, from July 25 through July 30, 1998. The meeting will include formal talks, informal poster sessions, discussion periods, and ample opportunity for interaction among the attending scientists. Attendees will include principal investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. The conference will provide an up-to-date and cost-effective overview o f one of the most fundamental and rapidly moving fields in biology and is expected to generate strategies for further research.
