2003 CSHL Eukaryotic mRNA Processing Conference to be held Summer 2003 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York

该奖项提供部分资金，用于支持将于2003年8月20-24日在冷泉港实验室举行的题为“真核基因的处理”的会议。这次会议将是这一系列会议中的第四次两年期会议。届时将有约300人参加。重点将继续放在信使核糖核酸的剪接和聚腺苷酸化上，但随着最近的发展，人们将越来越关注信使核糖核酸的运输、信使核糖核酸分子的历史对其命运的影响(如在无意义介导的衰变中)、RNAi和基因组方法。组织者小心翼翼地确保学生、年轻调查人员和代表性不足的少数族裔的参与。所有发言都将完全根据提交的摘要进行选择，而不是预先确定受邀发言者的名单。预计，和往年一样，大部分演讲将由研究生、博士后和年轻的独立调查人员进行。

This award provides partial funding to support a meeting entitled "Eukaryotic mRNA Processing", to be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory August 20-24, 2003. This meeting will be the fourth biennial conference in this series. There will be about 300 participants. The focus will continue to be on mRNA splicing and poly-adenylation, but, in line with recent developments, increasing attention will be paid to RNA transport, the impact of the history of a mRNA molecule on its fate (as in nonsense-mediated decay), RNAi, and genomic approaches. The organizers have taken care to ensure the participation of students, young investigators, and underrepresented minorities. Rather than having a pre-determined list of invited speakers, all presentations will be selected entirely on the basis of abstracts submitted. It is expected that, as in previous years, most of the talks will be given by graduate students, post-docs and young independent investigators.
