CONFERENCE: Genetic Recombination & Genome Rearrangements

本次会议将于2011年7月24-29日在科罗拉多州的斯普林斯举行。2011年遗传重组和染色体重组会议将是专门讨论这些主题的一系列非常成功的两年一度会议的第十四次会议。基因重组在塑造所有生物的基因组结构中起着关键作用，是维持基因组完整性所必需的。这次会议的全球目标是将处于基因重组各个方面前沿的工作者聚集在一起，提出新的结果，并促进使用不同技术和实验系统的研究人员之间的讨论。在2011年会议的计划中，正在尽一切努力平衡生物系统、同源/专门化重组和机械学/生物学研究。组织者招募了八位实地领导人主持会议；会议主席与组织者协商，邀请了代表不同方法和实验系统的杰出发言者。这次会议旨在与大约200名研究人员一起，在一系列生物系统中用不同的实验方法研究基因重组的许多不同方面。演讲将介绍关于实地及时问题的新的和未发表的工作，并将包括所有参与者的讨论。广泛影响已尽一切努力将女性和初级调查人员作为特邀发言者；此外，将分配几个时段用于从摘要中挑选的演讲，以期将这些摘要提供给初级调查人员。八位会议主席中有四位是女性，初步计划中约30%的演讲者是女性。

Intellectual Merit This FASEB conference will be held in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, on July 24-29, 2011. The 2011 Conference on Genetic Recombination and Chromosome Rearrangements will be the fourteenth in a series of highly successful bi-annual conferences devoted to these topics. Genetic recombination plays a key role in molding genome structure in all living organisms and is required to maintain genome integrity. The global objective of the conference is to bring together workers at the forefront of all aspects of genetic recombination to present new results and to promote discussion between researchers using different techniques and experimental systems. In the program for the 2011 conference, every effort is being made to balance organismal systems, homologous/specialized recombination, and mechanistic/biological studies. The organizers have recruited eight leaders in the field to chair the sessions; the session chairs, in consultation with the organizers, have invited outstanding speakers representing diverse approaches and experimental systems. This conference aims to join approximately 200 investigators studying many diverse aspects of genetic recombination, in a range of biological systems and with different experimental approaches. Presentations will introduce new and unpublished work on timely questions in the field and will include discussion from all participants.Broader Impacts Every effort has been made to include female and junior investigators as invited speakers; in addition, several slots will be allocated to talks selected from abstracts with the expectation these will be given to junior investigators. Four of eight session chairs are women and about 30% of speakers on the preliminary program are women.
