项目摘要

Project Summary Heritable changes in phenotype not caused by changes to the DNA sequence are referred to as epigenetic. Epigenetics governs multiple aspects of normal cellular function and growth and development. Epigenetic effects are mediated by DNA modifications, non-coding RNAs, histone variants and modifications, higher order chromosomal structures, infectious proteins, and possibly other molecules. The objectives of the 2023 Epigenetics Gordon Research Conference (GRC) are to present a scientific program that reflects the breadth and depth of epigenetics research and to promote diverse and inclusive science and the careers of young investigators. The preliminary program includes speakers studying aspects of epigenetics in mammals (including humans), worms, flies, yeast, and flowering plants. Invited speakers range from early career investigators to senior leaders in the fields. Other important aspects of the GRC program include ample time for discussion and networking, poster preview talks for young investigators, poster prizes, and the GRC Power Hour, which addresses challenges faced by younger scientists and by scientists from underrepresented groups. The 2023 Epigenetics Gordon Research Seminar precedes the GRC and offers an opportunity for students and postdoctoral scholars to present their work and develop peer relationships. The GRS will also include mentoring sessions with senior scientists. Overall, the GRC and GRS programs will promote cross- disciplinary, innovative, and inclusive science that will advance the field of epigenetics. The GRC and GRS was cancelled in 2021 and thus the 2023 meetings are critical for maintaining vibrancy of the field.

项目概要并非由 DNA 序列变化引起的表型遗传性变化称为表观遗传。表观遗传学控制着正常细胞功能以及生长发育的多个方面。表观遗传效应由 DNA 修饰、非编码 RNA、组蛋白变体和修饰、更高阶介导染色体结构、感染性蛋白质以及可能的其他分子。 2023年的目标表观遗传学戈登研究会议 (GRC) 将提出一项反映广泛性的科学计划表观遗传学研究的深度和深度，促进科学的多样性和包容性以及年轻人的职业生涯调查人员。初步计划包括研究哺乳动物表观遗传学方面的演讲者（包括人类）、蠕虫、苍蝇、酵母和开花植物。受邀演讲者范围涵盖职业生涯早期调查员到该领域的高级领导。 GRC 计划的其他重要方面包括充足的时间用于讨论和交流、针对年轻研究人员的海报预览讲座、海报奖和 GRC Power Hour，解决年轻科学家和代表性不足的科学家所面临的挑战组。 2023 年表观遗传学戈登研究研讨会在 GRC 之前举行，为学生和博士后学者展示他们的工作并发展同行关系。 GRS 还将包括与资深科学家的指导课程。总体而言，GRC 和 GRS 计划将促进跨领域学科、创新和包容性科学将推动表观遗传学领域的发展。 GRC 和 GRS 2021 年取消，因此 2023 年的会议对于保持该领域的活力至关重要。
