2023 Epigenetics Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar

项目摘要 表型的可遗传变化不是由DNA序列的变化引起的，称为表观遗传。 表观遗传学控制着正常细胞功能和生长发育的多个方面。表观遗传 效应是由DNA修饰、非编码RNA、组蛋白变体和高级修饰介导的 染色体结构，感染性蛋白质，可能还有其他分子。2023年的奋斗目标 表观遗传学戈登研究会议(GRC)将提出一个反映广度的科学计划 表观遗传学研究的深度和深度，并促进多样化和包容性的科学和青年的职业生涯 调查人员。初步计划包括研究哺乳动物表观遗传学方面的演讲者。 (包括人类)、蠕虫、苍蝇、酵母和开花植物。特邀演讲者从职业生涯早期开始 调查人员对该领域的高级领导进行了调查。GRC计划的其他重要方面包括充足的时间 对于讨论和网络，为年轻研究人员举办的海报预览讲座、海报奖和GRC Power 小时，它解决了年轻科学家和来自代表性不足的科学家所面临的挑战 组。2023年表观遗传学戈登研究研讨会先于GRC，并提供了一个机会 学生和博士后学者展示他们的工作并发展同伴关系。GRS还将 包括与资深科学家的指导会议。总体而言，GRC和GRS计划将促进跨 学科、创新和包容性科学将推动表观遗传学领域的发展。GRC和GRS 2021年被取消，因此2023年的会议对于维持实地的活力至关重要。

Project Summary Heritable changes in phenotype not caused by changes to the DNA sequence are referred to as epigenetic. Epigenetics governs multiple aspects of normal cellular function and growth and development. Epigenetic effects are mediated by DNA modifications, non-coding RNAs, histone variants and modifications, higher order chromosomal structures, infectious proteins, and possibly other molecules. The objectives of the 2023 Epigenetics Gordon Research Conference (GRC) are to present a scientific program that reflects the breadth and depth of epigenetics research and to promote diverse and inclusive science and the careers of young investigators. The preliminary program includes speakers studying aspects of epigenetics in mammals (including humans), worms, flies, yeast, and flowering plants. Invited speakers range from early career investigators to senior leaders in the fields. Other important aspects of the GRC program include ample time for discussion and networking, poster preview talks for young investigators, poster prizes, and the GRC Power Hour, which addresses challenges faced by younger scientists and by scientists from underrepresented groups. The 2023 Epigenetics Gordon Research Seminar precedes the GRC and offers an opportunity for students and postdoctoral scholars to present their work and develop peer relationships. The GRS will also include mentoring sessions with senior scientists. Overall, the GRC and GRS programs will promote cross- disciplinary, innovative, and inclusive science that will advance the field of epigenetics. The GRC and GRS was cancelled in 2021 and thus the 2023 meetings are critical for maintaining vibrancy of the field.
