Molecular biology and evolution are the two fundamental unifying principles of life on earth. It is only through the combination of knowledge from these two disciplines that we can (i) unravel how the molecular components of organisms allowed them to survive their past environments, (ii) understand the challenges imposed by present day ongoing evolution occurring in immune cells, cancer tissues or microbial populations, including pathogens, (iii) predict the future responses of organisms to climate changes and other human-driven current selective pressures. The 2023 Gordon Conference on Molecular Mechanisms in Evolution will assemble international experts in molecular, medical, and evolutionary biology to present the latest findings and diverse perspectives on the molecular basis of evolutionary change. This conference will provide an engaging atmosphere for open and creative discussions aimed at stimulating collaboration among the participants. Short talks and posters will provide young scientists and their ideas access to the opinions and suggestions of the more experienced scientists who are invited speakers and chairs. The conference program will cover a wide range of topics including: the evolution of proteins and RNAs, the evolution of mutation and recombination rates, non-genetic variation and inheritance, metabolic evolution, the making of complex traits. The principal goal of this GRC is to encourage and nurture a community of researchers, spanning several formal disciplines, with a shared interest in the molecular basis of evolutionary change across biological scales. Evolutionary scientists include ecologists, geneticists, evolutionary, cellular, and molecular biologists, as well as physicists, and applied mathematicians. With such a wide range of disciplines, it is important to provide an opportunity to experts in these diverse disciplines to appreciate the important discoveries and new technologies from across the breadth of evolutionary science.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

分子生物学和进化论是地球生命的两个基本统一原理。只有通过结合这两门学科的知识，我们才能（i）揭示生物体的分子成分如何使它们能够在过去的环境中生存，（ii）了解当今免疫细胞中发生的持续进化所带来的挑战，癌症组织或微生物种群，包括病原体，（iii）预测生物体对气候变化和其他人类驱动的当前选择压力的未来反应。 2023 年戈登进化分子机制会议将聚集分子、医学和进化生物学领域的国际专家，介绍进化变化分子基础的最新发现和不同观点。这次会议将为开放和创造性的讨论提供一个引人入胜的氛围，旨在促进参与者之间的合作。简短的演讲和海报将为年轻科学家及其想法提供获得邀请演讲者和主席的更有经验的科学家的意见和建议的机会。会议议程将涵盖广泛的主题，包括：蛋白质和RNA的进化、突变和重组率的进化、非遗传变异和遗传、代谢进化、复杂性状的形成。该 GRC 的主要目标是鼓励和培养跨多个正式学科的研究人员社区，对跨生物尺度的进化变化的分子基础有着共同的兴趣。进化科学家包括生态学家、遗传学家、进化、细胞和分子生物学家，以及物理学家和应用数学家。由于学科范围如此广泛，为这些不同学科的专家提供一个机会来欣赏整个进化科学领域的重要发现和新技术非常重要。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为值得支持通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
