DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funding for partial support of the Fifth International Conference on Primate Genomics, to be held in Houston, Texas in April 2012. As a result of recent significant advances in technologies for generating and analyzing DNA sequence data, there has been a dramatic acceleration of the pace of investigation and discovery in the field of nonhuman primate genetics and genomics. Genetic information for nonhuman primates is important because these species are uniquely valuable animal models for studies related to human disease, and because comparative analyses reveal new insights into the function and evolution of the human genome. Despite the increasing information available concerning the primate genomics, the relevant research community is separated across different disciplines, with insufficient opportunity for direct interaction and communication. To help address this problem, we will organize this three-day conference on primate genomics, April 18-20, 2012. Our two primary goals are to facilitate the exchange of new scientific information and ideas regarding the genetics and genomics of nonhuman primates, and to create opportunities for personal interaction among attendees, especially interactions that lead to new collaborations. While the effort invested in primate genomics is growing, there is no one meeting that is recognized as an effective venue for communication and interaction across this diverse research community. We expect approximately 175-200 attendees, including senior investigators, younger researchers, postdoctoral scientists and graduate students. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): This application requests support for the Fifth International Conference on Primate Genomics, to be held at the Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, TX) on April 18-20, 2012. Genetic and genomic information concerning nonhuman primates is important to biomedical research progress because primates are critical animal models for research related to numerous human diseases, and because comparative analyses of the human and primate genomes reveal new insights into the function of the human genome. Our primary goals for this conference are to facilitate the exchange of new scientific results and ideas regarding the genomics of nonhuman primates, and to create opportunities for personal interaction among attendees, especially interactions that lead to new scientific collaborations.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求为2012年4月在德克萨斯州休斯敦举行的第五届国际灵长类动物基因组学会议的部分支持提供资金。这是由于最近在非时代基因和基因学领域的研究和发现的急剧加速了生成和分析DNA序列数据的技术方面的重大进步，这是一种巨大的加速。非人类灵长类动物的遗传信息很重要，因为这些物种是与人类疾病有关的研究的独特有价值的动物模型，并且比较分析揭示了对人类基因组功能和演变的新见解。尽管有关灵长类动物基因组学的越来越多的信息，但相关的研究界在不同学科的情况下却分开了，而直接互动和交流的机会不足。为了帮助解决这个问题，我们将组织这次为期三天的灵长基因组学会议，2012年4月18日至20日。我们的两个主要目标是促进有关非人类灵长类动物的遗传学和基因组学的新科学信息和思想，并为参加者之间的个人互动创造机会，尤其是导致新协作的互动。尽管在灵长类动物基因组学上投入的努力正在增长，但没有一个会议被认为是在这个多样化的研究社区中进行沟通和互动的有效场所。我们预计大约有175-200名与会者，包括高级研究人员，年轻研究人员，博士后科学家和研究生。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：本申请要求对第五届灵长类动物基因组学会议的支持，将于2012年4月18日至20日在贝勒医学院（德克萨斯州休斯顿）举行。关于非人类灵长类动物的遗传和基因组信息，关于生物医学研究的遗传和基因组信息与生物医学研究进度相关，因为与人类疾病的研究相关，因为人类疾病的研究与人类疾病有关，因为人类疾病与人类疾病有关，因为人类疾病的分析是与人类疾病相关的，因为人类疾病是对人类疾病的重要性，因为人类疾病是对人类疾病的重要分析，因此人类基因组的功能。我们这次会议的主要目标是促进有关非人类灵长类动物基因组学的新科学结果和思想的交流，并为参加者之间的个人互动创造机会，尤其是导致新的科学合作的互动。
