Progress in our understanding of yeast chromosome structure, and the mechanisms and control of chromosome replication and segregation continues to proceed at a rapid pace. To bring together leading and new scientists that work in this area, The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) will sponsor a research conference on Yeast Chromosome Structure, Replication and Segregation to be held August 19-24, 2000, at Snowmass Village, Colorado. This conference will represent the sixth iteration of what has become the most successful and important meeting of this field. This conference succeeds in several essential areas. First and foremost, the findings presented are always on the "cutting edge", as each of the five previous meetings have upheld a strong tradition of presenting primarily unpublished results. Second, the meeting is attended by most of the leaders in the yeast chromosome transmission field, and in striking contrast to many meetings, Principal Investigators are present and actively participate for the entire meeting. The conference also provides a good balance of students, postdoctoral fellows, junior and senior researchers, with an informal atmosphere that contributes greatly to interactions between younger and older scientists. For students, this serves as an essential aspect of their scientific education, and for Principal Investigators, the conference keeps them abreast of the latest findings and stimulates collaborative efforts. Participation of women and minorities, both as organizers and as session speakers has been excellent for the past five meetings, and remains a strength of this current meeting. Finally, this is the only conference that is specifically devoted to this topic. Therefore, for scientists working on chromosome structure and transmission, this meeting has served as a critical vehicle for the dissemination of important findings and a major source for generating scientific interactions. The objectives for the 2000 meeting are to bring together both leaders in the field as well as new investigators, to continue the extremely high level of excitement and scientific excellence that has characterized the past five conferences.

我们对酵母染色体结构的理解以及染色体复制和隔离的机制和控制的进展继续以快速的速度进行。 为了汇集在这一领域工作的领先和新科学家，美国实验生物学联合会（FASEB）将赞助一项关于酵母染色体结构，复制和隔离的研究会议，2000年8月19日至24日在雪地村举行，科罗拉多州。 这次会议将代表已成为该领域最成功和最重要的会议的第六次迭代。 这次会议在几个基本领域取得了成功。 首先，提出的发现始终处于“最前沿”状态，因为以前的五次会议中的每一次都坚持了呈现主要未发表的结果的牢固传统。 其次，大多数领导人参加了酵母染色体传输领域的会议，与许多会议形成鲜明对比的是，首席研究人员在场并积极参加整个会议。 该会议还为学生，博士后研究员，初级和高级研究人员提供了良好的平衡，并具有非正式的氛围，这对年轻科学家和年长科学家之间的互动做出了巨大贡献。 对于学生来说，这是他们科学教育的重要方面，对于主要研究人员，会议使他们与最新发现并刺激了协作努力。 作为组织者和会议演讲者的妇女和少数民族的参与在过去的五次会议上非常出色，并且仍然是当前会议的优势。 最后，这是唯一专门致力于此主题的会议。 因此，对于从事染色体结构和传播的科学家来说，这次会议是传播重要发现的关键工具，也是产生科学相互作用的主要来源。 2000年会议的目标是召集该领域的领导者以及新的调查人员，以继续具有过去五次会议的极高兴奋和科学卓越水平。
