DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Partial support is requested for the 2008 Gordon Research Conference on Nucleic Acids, to be held June 1-6, 2008, at Salve Regina University, Newport, Rhode Island. The Nucleic Acids Gordon Research Conference serves as a key venue for the first reports of important discoveries on the structure and function of nucleic acids. Traditionally attracting scientists from fields as diverse as biophysical chemistry, structural biology, cell biology and genetics, this Gordon Conference facilitates cross-disciplinary exchanges that are rare in more specialized meetings. The meeting addresses the fundamental roles of DNA and RNA in normal growth and development and in the pathological states that underlie cancer, hereditary disease and viral and microbial infections. Formal research presentations at the 2008 Conference will emphasize basic biological processes including epigenetics, DNA replication, cellular responses to DNA damage, RNA transcription, processing and transport, and ribosome assembly, as well as emerging areas of bioinformatics, and the regulation of gene expression by RNAs. In addition to representing the leading edge of research in these areas, speakers and session chairs will be chosen to reflect a balance in age, gender, and nationality. The Conference will also promote informal interactions among established senior scientists, young investigators and students considering careers in nucleic acids research, in addition to featuring an outstanding schedule of formal research presentations. For example, considerable time is allotted for discussion following formal lectures. Poster sessions and optional recreational activities will further stimulate informal interactions. Participants are being recruited to the 2008 Conference based on their scientific accomplishments and their potential for careers in nucleic acids research. Underrepresented minorities will be especially encouraged to attend. Special efforts will be made to emphasize research accomplishments of junior faculty, postdoctoral researchers and students in addition to established investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：2008年6月1日至6日在罗德岛州纽波特的Salve Regina University举行的2008年戈登核酸研究会议请求部分支持。核酸戈登研究会议是首先报道核酸结构和功能的重要场所。传统上，这次戈登会议吸引了来自生物物理化学，结构生物学，细胞生物学和遗传学等多样化领域的科学家，促进了跨学科交流，在更专业的会议上很少见。该会议介绍了DNA和RNA在正常生长和发育中的基本作用以及在癌症，遗传性疾病以及病毒和微生物感染的病理状态下。 2008年会议上的正式研究演讲将强调基本的生物学过程，包括表观遗传学，DNA复制，对DNA损伤的细胞反应，RNA转录，加工和运输以及核糖体组装以及生物信息学的新兴领域以及通过调节基因表达的领域RNA。除了代表这些领域的研究领先优势外，演讲者和会议主席还将被选择以反映年龄，性别和国籍的平衡。该会议还将促进知名的高级科学家，年轻研究人员和考虑核酸研究职业的学生之间的非正式互动，此外还包括出色的正式研究演讲时间表。例如，在正式演讲后分配了相当长的时间进行讨论。海报会议和可选的娱乐活动将进一步刺激非正式互动。参与者根据他们的科学成就及其在核酸研究中的职业潜力而被招募到2008年会议。特别鼓励代表人数不足的少数民族参加。除了既定的研究人员之外，还将做出特别的努力，以强调初级教师，博士后研究人员和学生的研究成就。
