DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The germ-line is the tissue specialized for generation of gametes; it includes oocytes and sperm in addition to immature germ cells such as germ-line stem cells. The somatic tissues of the gonad are intimately linked with the correct development and health of the germ-line. The germ-line tissue is of tremendous practical and scholarly significance. It may well be the ultimate source of stem cells for tissue replacement in diseased or injured individuals, and it impacts issues of both contraception and fertility. Therefore, germ-line biology is crucial for both medicine and agriculture. Major intellectual and technical advances have spurred new and exciting findings in germ cell research. This impressive progress derives from a range of studies in both vertebrates and invertebrates. It is, therefore, critical that researchers from diverse technical and academic arenas be brought together to share their insights and discoveries. The Germ Cells meeting will be held October 11-15, 2006 at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. This meeting will provide a public forum for discussion of all aspects of germ cell research, from specification of primordial germ cells in the early embryo to the function of gametes in adults. The meeting will embrace investigations of germ cells in diverse organisms, including model organisms and humans. We expect to attract 250-300 participants from around the world. There are no competing meetings of similar scope in this important research area. Eight broad topics have been chosen for platform presentations: Germ Cell Traits, Germ Cell Patterning and Specification, Gametogenesis and Fertilization, Germ-line Programs, Epigenetic Regulation, RNA Regulation, Germ-line Stem Cells, and Totipotency and Reprogramming. Each session will be organized and co-chaired by two experts in the field. Speakers generally will include the chairs plus one or two additional invited speakers for each session; the remainder will be selected from submitted abstracts. We will encourage platform presentations from young scientists. We will also ensure time for interactions between scientists, particularly during meals and in poster sessions.

描述（由申请人提供）：种系是专门用于生成配子的组织；除了未成熟的生殖细胞（例如种系干细胞）外，它还包括卵母细胞和精子。性腺的体细胞组织与细菌线的正确发育和健康密切相关。种系组织具有巨大的实用和学术意义。它很可能是患病或受伤个体的组织替代的干细胞的最终来源，并且会影响避孕和生育的问题。因此，种系生物学对于医学和农业都至关重要。 主要的智力和技术进步刺激了生殖细胞研究中的新发现。这种令人印象深刻的进步源自脊椎动物和无脊椎动物的一系列研究。因此，至关重要的是，来自各种技术和学术领域的研究人员都可以分享他们的见解和发现。生殖细胞会议将于2006年10月11日至15日在冷泉港实验室举行。这次会议将提供一个公共论坛，讨论生殖细胞研究的各个方面，从早期胚胎的原始生殖细胞的规范到成人配子的功能。这次会议将包含对包括模型生物和人类在内的各种生物体中生殖细胞的调查。我们希望吸引来自世界各地的250-300名参与者。在这个重要的研究领域，没有类似范围的竞争会议。为平台演示选择了八个广泛的主题：生殖细胞性状，生殖细胞模式和规范，配子生成和受精，种系程序，表观遗传调节，RNA调节，种系干细胞以及全能和重编程。每个会议将由该领域的两名专家组织和共同主持。 演讲者通常会为每个会议提供椅子加上一两个邀请的扬声器；其余的将从提交的摘要中选择。我们将鼓励年轻科学家的平台演讲。我们还将确保科学家之间的互动时间，尤其是在进餐期间和海报会议中。
