Twentieth Fungal Genetics Conference, Asilomar, California, March 23-28, Pacific Grove, CA.

这笔赠款是为了支持学生参加1999年3月23日至28日在加州阿西洛马会议中心举行的20世纪真菌遗传学会议。 学生们将与来自世界各地的大约600名科学家和学生一起参加。 会议的重点是丝状真菌的分子生物学、遗传学、生物化学和细胞生物学。 会议将包括四次全体会议、四次专门用于同时举办专门领域讲习班的会议、三次海报会议和非正式讨论。 全体会议将讨论的主题是：基因表达的调节，包括全球调节和表观遗传现象，性和无性分化，次生代谢和致病性，以及细胞生物学，强调细胞器的生物合成和运输。 会议特别强调青年科学家和学生，特别是代表性不足群体的青年科学家和学生的参与。

This grant is to support the participation of students in the Twentieth Fungal Genetics Conference at the Asilomar Conference Center in Asilomar, California on March 23-28, 1999. The students will participate with approximately 600 scientists and students from around the world. The conference focuses on the molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology of filamentous fungi. The meeting will consist of four plenary sessions, four sessions devoted to concurrent workshops in specialized areas, three poster sessions, and informal discussions. Topics to be covered in plenary sessions are: regulation of gene expression including global regulation and epigenetic phenomena, sexual and asexual differentiation, secondary metabolism, and pathogenicity, and cell biology emphasizing organelle biogenesis and transport. In the meeting, strong emphasis is placed on the participation of young scientists and students, particularly those from underrepresented groups.
