CSHL Mechanisms of Eukaryotic Transcription Conference

真核转录机制 在包括植物和动物在内的高等生物中，遗传密码(DNA)是在 被称为核的细胞的内部隔间，紧密地包装成染色体 DNA-蛋白质复合体称为染色质。当信使RNA(MRNAs)被 在一个称为转录的过程中复制了DNA代码，然后离开细胞核 在被称为核糖体的“蛋白质工厂”中转化为蛋白质。现在已知抄写是一种 高度协调的过程，一组基因的表达在不同的时间被开启和关闭 生物体生命的各个阶段。这次国际会议的目的是成为一个论坛 讨论该领域的最新研究，并促进我们对 这一复杂而基本的生物过程。这次会议之所以引人注目，是因为大多数人 的演讲是从公开提交的摘要中挑选出来的，为广泛和 包括研究生在内的不同的初级科学家代表展示他们的最新研究成果 研究。资金将主要用于支持初级科学家和Under- 代表外地的选民，否则他们将无法出席。

Mechanisms of Eukaryotic Transcription In higher organisms including plants and animals, the genetic code (DNA) is to be found in an internal compartment of the cell known as the nucleus, tightly packaged into chromosomes in a DNA-protein complex called chromatin. Genes are expressed when messenger RNAs (mRNA) are copied off the DNA code in a process called transcription, before leaving the nucleus to be translated into proteins at "protein factories" called ribosomes. Transcription is now known to be a highly orchestrated process, with expression of sets of genes being turned on and off at various stages of the life of the organism. This international conference is intended to be a forum for discussion of the latest research in the field and to promote future progress in our understanding of this complex and fundamental biological process. This conference is notable because the majority of talks are selected from openly submitted abstracts giving ample opportunity for broad and diverse representation of junior scientists including graduate students to present their latest research. Funds will primarily be used to support junior scientists and members of under- represented constituencies within the field who would otherwise not be able to attend.
