MAMMALIAN DEVELOPMENTAL GENETICS WORKSHOP

第三届两年一度的哺乳动物发育遗传学研讨会将于 巴尔港，1993年9月8日至12日。 第三次研讨会建立在 1989年和1991年在巴尔港举办了非常成功的讲习班。 重点将放在小鼠作为模型物种。 程序 将包括主题演讲，主题会议， "头脑风暴"会议。 主旨演讲将提供一个概述 广泛的发展问题;主题会议将强调具体的 发展问题;"集思广益"会议将强调 研究重要但知之甚少的发展战略 问题 第三次研讨会的主旨发言将侧重于 控制老鼠发育的基因和人类的基因 出生缺陷;主题会议将集中在听力的遗传学， 视觉，早期发育中的基因表达， 血统决定和性别决定的遗传控制， 配子发生;和'头脑风暴'会议将集中在 环境伤害对发育的影响和对遗传控制的影响 程序性细胞死亡 每个主题会议开始时， 60分钟的演讲提供了研究问题的概述， 这一节的主题的进展。 这些概述将 然后是两到三个20分钟，重点更窄，互补 介绍。 主办单位将从下列人士中选出讲者： 与会者应用程序。 出席人数将限制在110人。 参与 鼓励研究生和博士后研究员。 摘要 将提供给与会者，但不会公布。 海报 鼓励介绍。 其他主要的小鼠发育 遗传学会议是胚胎发生戈登会议， 配子发生与冷泉港-海德堡小鼠分子 基因会议。 因为主题重点不同， 它是在戈登会议的"淡季"举行的， 当小鼠分子遗传学研讨会在海德堡举行时， 港口研讨会在主题和时间上补充了这些会议。

The Third Biennial Mammalian Developmental Genetics Workshop will be held in Bar Harbor, 8-12 September, 1993. This Third Workshop builds on the highly successful workshops held in Bar Harbor in 1989 and 1991. Emphasis will be placed on the mouse as a model species. The program will consist of keynote presentations, topic sessions, and 'brainstorming' sessions. Keynote presentations will provide an overview of broad developmental questions; topic sessions will emphasize specific developmental problems; and 'brainstorming' meetings will emphasize strategies for studying important but poorly understood developmental problems. For the Third Workshop, the keynote presentations will focus on genes that control mouse development and on the genetics of human birth defects; topic sessions will focus on the genetics of hearing and vision, gene expression in early development, the genetic control of lineage determination and the genetic control of sex determination and gametogenesis; and 'brainstorming' sessions will focus on the developmental impact of environmental insults and on the genetic control of programmed cell death. Each topic session will begin with an invited 60 minute presentation providing an overview of the research problems and progress for the subject of that section. These overviews will be followed by two or three 20 minute, more narrowly focused, complementary presentations. Presenters will be selected by the Organizers from attendee applications. Attendance will be limited to 110. Participation of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in encouraged. Abstracts will be provided to attendees but will not be published. Poster presentations are encouraged. The other major mouse developmental genetics meetings are the Gordon Conference on Embryogenesis and Gametogenesis and the Cold Spring Harbor-Heidelberg Mouse Molecular Genetics meeting. Because the subject emphasis is different and because it is held in the "off-year" of the Gordon Conference and during the year when the Mouse Molecular Genetics Workshop if held in Heidelberg, the Bar Harbor Workshop complements these meetings in subject and timing.
