2005 CSHL Eukaryotic DNA Replication Conference, September 7 - 11, 2005 to be held in Cold Spring Harbor, New York

这次会议将是第10届真核DNA复制两年一度的会议。这是唯一定期举行的会议，专门专注于真核DNA复制。由于这一重点，会议在理解真核DNA复制过程及其如何整合到细胞分裂周期中的快速增长中发挥了重要作用。2005年的会议将包括一系列不同的主题，包括：（1）酵母、果蝇、非洲爪蟾和哺乳动物细胞等多种生物体中的染色体复制和基因扩增;（2）病毒染色体的复制，包括SV 40、多瘤病毒、巨细胞病毒、疱疹病毒、乳头瘤病毒和EB病毒;（3）细胞周期中DNA复制的控制;（4）染色体元件的结构和功能，如复制起点和端粒;（5）DNA复制机制与其他关键细胞周期事件之间的联系;（6）DNA复制检查点和DNA修复。 会议的形式将确保在面对面接触的气氛中交流和讨论最近的成果，这可以促进进展和协作。将鼓励年轻的研究人员和少数民族及妇女科学家参与。组织者将使用NSF的资金来支付青年，妇女和少数民族科学家出席会议的费用。

This conference will be the 10th biennial meeting on Eukaryotic DNA Replication. It is the only regularly occurring meeting that is exclusively focused on eukaryotic DNA replication. Because of this focus, the meeting has played a major role in the rapid growth in the understanding of the eukaryotic DNA replication process and how it is integrated into the cell division cycle. The 2005 meeting will include a diverse array of topics including studies of: (1)chromosomal replication and gene amplification in organisms as diverse as yeast,Drosophila, Xenopus and mammalian cells; (2) the replication of virus chromosomes, including SV40, polyomavirus, cytomegalovirus, herpesvirus, papillomaviruses, and Epstein-Barr virus; (3) control of DNA replication in the cell cycle; (4) structure and function of chromosomal elements such as origins of replication and telomeres; and (5)connections between the DNA replication machinery and other critical cell cycle events; (6) DNA replication checkpoints and DNA repair. The format of the meeting will ensure that recent results will be communicated and discussed in an atmosphere of face-to-face contact, which can enhance progress and collaboration. The participation of young investigators and minority and women scientists will be encouraged. The organizers will use the funds from NSF to defray the attendance costs for junior, women, and minority scientists at the conference.
