DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 14th meeting of the Sea urchin cell and developmental biology research community and of researchers working on Urochordates, Hemichordates, and Cephalochordates will be held on May 1-5,2002 at Woods Hole Mass. This meeting is the most important gathering of researchers interested in the cell, molecular, developmental and evolutionary biology of non-vertebrate deuterostomes. The 14th meeting has special importance because of three genome projects being conducted (two on tunicates and one on sea urchins). Workshops, seminars, and informal discussions will be of immense importance for the coordination and collaborations associated with those projects. A vast expansion of interest in this field has been catalyzed by an explosion of identified genes of importance to cell biology, development and evolution. The sea urchin embryo and tunicate embryo were adapted for study as model organisms more than a century ago. These embryos offer many advantages for experimental manipulation and have remained as important tools for understanding cellular, developmental and evolutionary mechanisms. The explosion of available genes has infused these systems with enormous new power for determination of function. Until recently other model systems that include amphioxis and acorn worms (a hemichordate) have been quite peripheral and used only for comparative systematic studies. Recent efforts have given new impetus to adapt these organisms for experimental approaches as well. As a result there is great excitement in the community as mechanisms of deuterostome evolution and development are uncovered. The meeting brings together exiperimentalists to share their findings at the molecular, cellular, and genomic level. The meeting includes 8 plenary sessions with a total of 44 speakers, plus 6 concurrent sessions and two workshops with 46 speakers. Poster sessions and discussions over meals add to the highly interactive atmosphere. The meeting will include about 200 people. Invitees will include all those interested in cell, development, and evolutionary mechanism in sea urchins, tunicates, hemichordates and cephalochordates. Sessions will cover fertilization, molecular specification, axial organization, gastrulation and morphogenesis, cellular mechanisms that activate development, genomics, and evolutionary mechanisms that impact development. The concurrent sessions offer valuable opportunities for graduate students and postdocs to gain experience speaking at an international meeting, and the workshops introduce new approaches in these embryos.

描述（由申请人提供）：海胆细胞和发育生物学研究界的第14次会议以及从事近去，半色调和头足体的研究人员将于5月1-5,2002在伍兹孔弥撒举行。这次会议是对细胞，分子，发育，进化层的细胞，分子，发育学和进化的研究者最重要的收集。第14届会议非常重要，因为正在进行三个基因组项目（其中两个是绑定的，一个在海胆中）。对于与这些项目相关的协调和合作，研讨会，研讨会和非正式讨论将非常重要。由于对细胞生物学，发育和进化的重要性基因的爆炸爆炸，人们对这一领域的兴趣大大扩展。一个多世纪以前，将海胆胚和调皮胚胎改编成模型生物。 这些胚胎为实验操作提供了许多优势，并且仍然是理解细胞，发育和进化机制的重要工具。可用基因的爆炸使这些系统注入了巨大的新功能，以确定功能。直到最近，其他模型系统包括两栖动物和橡子蠕虫（半粘合症）一直是外围的，并且仅用于比较系统研究。最近的努力使新的动力也适应了这些生物的实验方法。结果，社区引起了极大的兴奋，因为发现了氘代表进化和发展的机制。这次会议汇集了高级主义者在分子，细胞和基因组水平上分享他们的发现。这次会议包括8个全体会议，共有44位演讲者，另外6次并发会议和2次讲习班，有46位演讲者。 海报会议和关于餐点的讨论增加了高度互动的氛围。会议将包括大约200人。受邀者将包括所有对海胆，束缚，半色调和头孢菌素的细胞，发育和进化机制感兴趣的人。会议将涵盖受精，分子规范，轴向组织，胃和形态发生，激活影响发展的发育，基因组学和进化机制的细胞机制。 并发会议为研究生和博士后提供了宝贵的机会，可以在国际会议上获得讲话的经验，并且讲习班在这些胚胎中介绍了新方法。
