项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal is to fund the Ninth International Tunicate Meeting to be held at New York University, from July 16th to July 21st, 2017. This meeting attracts the international community of researchers using tunicates as model organisms for a broad range of studies, including cell and developmental biology, neurobiology and immunity, post-embryonic development and regeneration, genetics and genomics, ecology and evolution. Tunicates are the closest living relatives and comprise thousands of species that roam the oceans worldwide. For each one of the above topics, tunicates provide unique advantages as model organisms: for cell and developmental biology, they display simple embryos with fixed lineages that allows chordate development to be studied with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution; for neurobiology, they possess an extremely simplified central nervous system containing only ~150 neurons. A fully characterized synaptome and simple swimming behavior; for immunity, colonial ascidians possess the only established allorecognition system outside of vertebrates; for evolution, the stereotyped early development of ascidians remained virtually unchanged in the face of over 450 million years of profound genome divergence, making them the best test-bed to study developmental systems drift; finally, tunicates are poised to provide important multidisciplinary insights into the impact of global environmental changes on marine communities. The above topics will be covered through approximately eight plenary sessions, two formal poster sessions and two keynote lectures. A scientific committee representative of the diversity of the field has been defined and will be tasked with selecting abstracts for oral presentations, paying particular attention to appropriate representation of diverse groups, especially trainees. A career panel workshop will address the particularities and opportunities using tunicates as model systems in academia. A round table discussion will be held in a town hall meeting format to discuss community-wide issue such as developing genomic resources (e.g. reagents for CRISPR/Cas9 or RNAi), defining guidelines and best practices, developing, distributing and maintaining experimental and database resources). Social functions will further encourage informal interactions and foster creative discussions. As for previous versions of the meeting, the proceedings will be published either through a single meeting report and/or by partnering with a sponsoring published to produce a dedicated journal issue made up of several papers focused on tunicates. This version of the international tunicate meeting promises to be particularly vibrant as suggested by the initial enthusiasm generated by our announcement to hold it in New York City.

项目摘要该提议是为将于7月在纽约大学举行的第九次国际调节会议提供资金 2017年16日至7月21日。这次会议吸引了使用中衣作为的国际研究人员模型生物体进行广泛研究，包括细胞和发育生物学，神经生物学和免疫力，胚胎后发展和再生，遗传学和基因组学，生态学和进化。双束物质是最接近的亲戚，包括成千上万的物种，这些物种在全球漫游。对于上述主题中的每个主题，双线线作为模型生物提供了独特的优势：用于细胞和细胞发育生物学，它们显示具有固定谱系的简单胚胎以前所未有的空间和时间分辨率进行研究；对于神经生物学，它们具有极其简化的中枢神经系统仅包含〜150个神经元。一个完全特征的突触器和简单的游泳行为；为了获得免疫力，殖民时期的海藻具有唯一已建立的同种认识系统在脊椎动物之外；为了进化，刻板印象的早期发展实际上仍然是面对超过4.5亿年的深刻基因组差异，不变，使其成为最好的测试床研究发展系统漂移；最后，双线线有望提供重要的多学科洞悉全球环境变化对海洋社区的影响。以上主题将是通过大约八次全体会议，两个正式的海报会议和两个主题演讲涵盖。一个科学委员会代表该领域的多样性已定义，并将负责选择口头演示的摘要，特别注意适当表示多样的小组，尤其是学员。职业小组研讨会将使用在学术界作为模型系统的双束缚。圆桌讨论将以市政厅会议格式进行讨论社区范围的问题，例如开发基因组资源（例如CRISPR/CAS9或RNAi的试剂），定义指南和最佳实践，开发，分发和维护实验和数据库资源）。社会功能将进一步鼓励非正式的互动并培养创造性的讨论。至于会议的先前版本，诉讼将通过一份会议报告发布和/或通过与出版的赞助商合作，以生成由几个专门的期刊发行论文专注于双线线。此版本的国际调皮会议有望特别正如我们公告在纽约市宣布的最初热情所表明的那样，充满活力。
