This proposal is for a conference grant for the eighth Small Genomes Conference (formerly the E. coli and Small Genomes Conference) to be held September 24-28, 2000, at the conference center in Lake Arrowhead, California. There is great excitement over the prospect of comparing the sequences and contents of as many as 50 microbial genomes over the next year or two. Considerable integration of different aspects of microbiology will undoubtedly take place, including new perspectives on evolution and the requirements for life. To acheive these goals, particularly of integration and synergy, scientists from diverse disciplines must interact. Thus, this conference will include active genome researchers, such as sequencing experts and informatics specialists working in database design, sequence analysis, or simulation; geneticists developing new methods to take advantage of genomic information, e.g. for functional analysis; and cell biologists and biochemists who have specialized in areas now ripe for genomics such as metabolism, chromosome structure, or gene regulation. One focus of this conference will also be on genomes of pathogens. While there have been a number of recent genome conferences, continuing completion and release of new genome sequences and developing momentum for analysis of this huge amount of information means the community has continued need of such conferences. This meeting has become established as a major annual microbial genomics conference during the last seven years and has assured status and quality.

该提议是为将于2000年9月24日至28日在加利福尼亚州阿罗夫黑德湖举行的会议中心举行的第八次小型基因组会议（以前是大肠杆菌和小型基因组会议）的会议赠款。在未来两年中比较多达50个微生物基因组的序列和含量的前景令人兴奋。 微生物学不同方面的大量整合无疑将发生，包括有关进化和生活要求的新观点。 为了实现这些目标，特别是整合和协同作用，来自不同学科的科学家必须相互作用。 因此，该会议将包括活跃的基因组研究人员，例如在数据库设计，序列分析或模拟中工作的测序专家和信息学专家；遗传学家开发了利用基因组信息的新方法，例如用于功能分析；以及专门从事新代谢，染色体结构或基因调节等基因组学的领域的细胞生物学家和生物化学家。 这次会议的一个重点也将放在病原体的基因组上。 尽管最近有许多基因组会议，但继续完成并释放新的基因组序列，并发展势头以分析大量信息，这意味着社区继续需要这种会议。 在过去的七年中，这次会议已成为年度大型微生物基因组学会议，并确保了地位和质量。
