15th Annual International Conference on Microbial Genomics

第十五届微生物基因组学国际年会将延续 将来自生物、技术和计算机科学的研究人员聚集在一起，讨论最新的 微生物基因组学研究进展。今年？S系列将继续融入前沿领域，包括新的 微生物群落，元基因组学，结构蛋白质组学，合成生物学，包括建模和 构建遗传电路和代谢途径，并可想象地合成完全人工的 基因组。我们还将强调本次会议的一个新话题--生物能源。主题的组合 由该领域的领导者提出，将为与会者提供在现有基因组基础上构建的机会 利用最新技术进行项目或启动新的研究。与以往的会议一样，我们预计 与会者来自广泛的学科，包括来自学术和工业机构的人员。 此外，本次会议还将提供奖学金奖励，以支持研究生，以培养 下一代基因组专家。 会议将由七场会议组成：(1)社区生物学/元基因组学和 发病机制；(2)生物能源；(3)途径工程和合成生物学；(4)进化和比较 基因组学；(5)基因组调控；(6)计算机模拟资源和系统生物学；(7) 结构基因组学和生物学。周一、周二和12月还将举行下午的海报展示活动 星期三，为所有参与者提供展示他们的工作的机会。 会议将在马里兰大学塞缪尔·里格斯四世校友中心举行 大学公园校区于2007年9月16日至20日举行。弗雷德里克·布拉特纳(UW-Madison)，他一直是 大会自成立以来一直是大会的组成部分，今年将主持召开S会议。组委会 由Patricia Kiley(威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校)、Jeffrey H.Miller(加州大学洛杉矶分校)、Nicole T. Perna(UW-Madison)、ElisElizabeth Raleigh(New England Biolabs，Inc.)、Steven Salzberg(UMD-College Park)、George Weinstock(贝勒医学院)、周冀中(俄克拉荷马大学)。

The 15th Annual International Conference on Microbial Genomics will continue the tradition of bringing investigators from biology, technology and computer sciences together to discuss the most recent advances in microbial genomics. This year?s series will continue to incorporate frontier areas including new microbial communities, metagenomics, structural proteomics, synthetic biology including the modeling and building of genetic circuits and metabolic pathways and conceivably the synthesis of completely artificial genomes. We will also emphasize a new topic for this conference, bioenergy. The combination of topics presented by leaders in the field, will offer attendees both the opportunity to build on existing genomic projects or initiate new research utilizing the latest technology. As with past meetings, we expect participants from a wide range of disciplines, including those from both academic and industrial institutions. In addition, this conference will provide fellowship awards to support graduate students in order to train the next generation of genomic experts. The conference will consist of seven sessions: (1) Community biology/metagenomics and pathogenesis; (2) Bioenergy; (3) Pathway engineering and Synthetic biology; (4) Evolution and Comparative Genomics; (5) Regulation of Genomes; (6) Computer modeling resources and systems biology; and (7) Structural genomics and biology. There will also be an afternoon poster session on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday offering the opportunity for all the participants to present their work. The conference will be held at the Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center on the University of Maryland College Park campus from September 16 to 20, 2007. Frederick Blattner (UW-Madison), who has been an integral part of the Conference since its inception, will chair this year?s meeting. The organizing committee consists of Patricia Kiley (UW-Madison), Jeffrey H. Miller (University of California at Los Angeles), Nicole T. Perna (UW-Madison), Elisabeth Raleigh (New England Biolabs, Inc.), Steven Salzberg (UMD-College Park), George Weinstock (Baylor College of Medicine), Jizhong Zhou (Oklahoma University).
