DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of the conference is to encourage the transfer of ideas and information within the community of scientists working at the forefront of research on the structure and function of nucleic acids. The topics addressed during the meeting are vital to all areas of the biomedical sciences, including genetics, gene expression, organization of sub-cellular components, and cancer biology. Because of its breadth, the Nucleic Acids Gordon Research Conference attracts scientists with physical, chemical, and biological backgrounds. Thus, this meeting continues to play a seminal role in generating and disseminating new developments in the field, despite the proliferation of more specialized meetings. The 2003 conference will emphasize the mechanisms of fundamental biological processes including transcription, protein synthesis, DNA replication and chromosome maintenance. The nine sessions of the meeting in 2001 are as follows: (1) Genomics & Bioinformatics, (2) Single Molecule Studies, (3) DNA Replication, Recombination, & Repair, (4) Translation, (5) Nucleic Acid Modifications & Therapeutics, (6) Catalytic Nucleic Acids, (7) RNA Regulation & Processing, (8) Folding & Recognition, and (9) Chromatin & Transcription. The Conference is designed to bring together prominent senior scientists, junior investigators and students with interests in research on nucleic acids. Participants have been invited to the 2003 Conference based on their scientific accomplishments, or their potential for careers in nucleic acids research. The speakers and session chairs are balanced in age, gender, and nationality. Every effort is being made to include and feature junior faculty, postdoctoral researchers and students in addition to established investigators. Ample time is allotted for discussion following formal lectures. Poster sessions and optional recreational activities will stimulate informal interactions among participants.

描述（由申请人提供）：会议的目的是鼓励在核酸结构和功能研究前沿工作的科学家群体内交流思想和信息。会议期间讨论的主题对于生物医学的所有领域都至关重要，包括遗传学、基因表达、亚细胞成分的组织和癌症生物学。由于其广泛性，核酸戈登研究会议吸引了具有物理、化学和生物学背景的科学家。因此，尽管更专业的会议不断增多，但本次会议在产生和传播该领域的新进展方面继续发挥着开创性作用。 2003年的会议将强调基本生物过程的机制，包括转录、蛋白质合成、DNA复制和染色体维护。 2001年会议的九个分会场如下：（1）基因组学与生物信息学，（2）单分子研究，（3）DNA复制、重组和修复，（4）翻译，（5）核酸修饰与治疗，(6) 催化核酸，(7) RNA 调节和加工，(8) 折叠和识别，以及 (9) 染色质和转录。该会议旨在汇集对核酸研究感兴趣的杰出资深科学家、初级研究人员和学生。与会者因他们的科学成就或他们在核酸研究方面的职业潜力而被邀请参加 2003 年会议。演讲者和会议主席的年龄、性别和国籍是平衡的。除了现有的研究人员之外，我们还尽一切努力吸纳初级教师、博士后研究人员和学生。正式讲座后分配了充足的时间进行讨论。海报会议和可选的娱乐活动将刺激参与者之间的非正式互动。
