COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY CONFERENCE RAT GENOMICS & MODELS The rat is a major model system for biomedical research. Since the rat genome project was initiated in 1996, there has been an explosion in the number of genomics reagents (genetic markers, multiple genetic maps, radiation hybrids and their associated maps, ESTs), as well as genomic databases, physiological databases, an animal repository, and most recently, the draft genomic sequence and the development of gene knockouts. These reagents, tools and databases have been developed by international teams, largely funded by the combined efforts of most of the NIH Institutes, with NHLBI leading funding and direction. After extensive discussion with members of the community and with staff at Cold Spring Harbor, the first "rat meeting" was held there in December 1999. The 1999 meeting on "Physiological Genomics & Rat Models" was successful in part because it was the first rat meeting not dominated by a specific disease group, and helped to consolidate the "rat community" of laboratories and investigators interested in applying this model system to their work. The meeting was held again in December 2001 and 2003, and will be held every two years at Cold Spring Harbor for at least the next five years, under the title, "Rat Genomics & Models". This grant seeks support to help offset the costs of this important meeting for the next three meetings (2005, 2007, 2009) to help maintain the continued quality of the meeting by enabling more speakers to be invited, and support junior and minority scientists; thereby allowing the organizers more flexibility in bringing new investigators into this growing field.

冷泉港实验室会议 大鼠基因组学和模型 大鼠是生物医学研究的主要模型系统。由于大鼠基因组计划 自 1996 年开始，基因组学试剂（遗传 标记、多个遗传图谱、辐射杂交及其相关图谱、EST），以及 基因组数据库、生理数据库、动物资料库，以及最近的草案 基因组序列和基因敲除的发展。这些试剂、工具和数据库是由国际团队开发的，主要由大多数 NIH 研究所的共同努力资助，NHLBI 提供资金和指导。经过与社区成员和冷泉港工作人员的广泛讨论，第一次“老鼠会议”于 1999 年 12 月在那里召开。1999 年“生理基因组学和老鼠模型”会议取得了成功，部分原因是它是第一个老鼠会议会议不以特定疾病组为主，并有助于巩固有兴趣将该模型系统应用于其工作的实验室和研究人员的“老鼠社区”。该会议于2001年12月和2003年再次举行，并将至少在未来五年内每两年在冷泉港举行一次，会议主题为“大鼠基因组学与模型”。这笔赠款寻求支持，以帮助抵消这次重要会议的接下来三场会议（2005年、2007年、2009年）的费用，通过邀请更多的发言者来帮助保持会议的持续质量，并支持初级和少数族裔科学家；从而使组织者能够更灵活地将新的研究人员引入这个不断发展的领域。
