DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 26th Fungal Genetics Conference will be held at the Asilomar Conference Center from March 15-20, 2011. Approximately 900-1000 scientists and students from around the world will attend. A main goal of this biennial meeting is to promote the dissemination of the latest research on all aspects of the biology of fungi with a focus on filamentous fungi. Another important goal is to promote communication and collaboration between researchers interested in medical pathogens, and those working with plant pathogens, saprobic fungi and symbiotic fungi to increase research on infectious fungal diseases. A better understanding of the biology and interactions of fungi with their hosts and environment will lead to development of therapeutics to treat fungal diseases. The meeting will consist of four plenary sessions, four sets of concurrent sessions covering specialized areas, and three poster sessions. Topics areas of the four plenary sessions are: Genome evolution, Regulatory Networks, Growth and Reproduction and Symbioses. The 27 concurrent session topics include: Fungi that infect humans, Emergent fungal diseases, Fungicides and antifungals, Genome defense mechanisms, epigenetics and RNAi, Systems and synthetic biology, Cell cycle, development and morphogenesis, Stress signaling, ROS signaling and programmed cell death, Fungal effectors, High throughput methods for filamentous fungi, ChiP-chip/ChiP-seq: protein interactions with DNA, Biofuels and Bioenergy, Secretion, endoyctosis and membrane trafficking, Evolution of sex in fungi, Population genomics and Teaching fungal biology and genetics, to name a few. This meeting places a strong emphasis on the participation of young scientists and students, particularly those from underrepresented groups. Many have their first opportunity to present their research at a major international conference. Funds are requested to help defray the travel and participation costs of students, postdoctoral researchers and some young scientists, and will be distributed on a need basis. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This conference brings together fungal biologists working on most major fungal systems and promotes communication and collaboration between Medical mycologists, working on fungi that cause disease on humans and those working on plant pathogens, saprobes and symbiotic fungi. This interaction allows students working on fungi to find and pursue opportunities for research careers in Infectious diseases towards reducing the impact of fungi on human health. Fungi also serve as important model systems to understand human disease based on the presence in fungi of many genes related to those involved in animal diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：第26届真菌遗传会议将于2011年3月15日至20日在Asilomar会议中心举行。来自世界各地的大约900-1000名科学家和学生将参加。这两年一次的会议的一个主要目标是促进对真菌生物学各个方面的最新研究的传播，重点是丝状真菌。另一个重要的目标是促进对医学病原体感兴趣的研究人员之间的沟通和协作，以及那些使用植物病原体，肉欲真菌和共生真菌的人，以增加有关传染性真菌疾病的研究。对真菌与宿主和环境的生物学和相互作用的更好理解将导致治疗真菌疾病的疗法。会议将包括四个全体会议，四套涵盖专业区域的并发会议以及三个海报会议。四个全体会议的主题领域是：基因组进化，调节网络，增长和繁殖以及共生。 27个并发会议主题包括：感染人类，新出现的真菌疾病，杀菌剂和抗真菌剂，基因组防御机制，表观遗传学和RNAi，系统和系统生物学，细胞周期，发育和形态发生，应激信号和ROS信号和程序性细胞死亡，Systems and Syneptic Biology and Systems and RNAI，Systems and Systems and Systems and System and RNAi，感染人类的​​真菌：真菌效应子，丝状真菌的高吞吐量，芯片芯片/芯片播种：与DNA的蛋白质相互作用，生物燃料和生物能，分泌，内八十五，内氧化和膜运输，真菌中性别的进化，人口基因组学和教学真实生物学和遗传学，命名几个。这次会议非常重视年轻科学家和学生的参与，尤其是来自代表性不足的团体的学生。许多人有第一个机会在一次大型国际会议上介绍他们的研究。要求资金帮助支付学生，博士后研究人员和一些年轻科学家的旅行和参与费用，并将根据需要分配。 公共卫生相关性：这次会议汇集了从事大多数主要真菌系统的真菌生物学家，并促进医学真菌学家之间的沟通与协作，从事对人类疾病以及从事植物病原体，腐生和共生真菌的真菌的沟通。这种相互作用使从事真菌的学生可以找到并寻求传染病研究的机会，以减少真菌对人类健康的影响。真菌还可以作为重要的模型系统，可以根据与动物疾病有关的许多基因的存在来理解人类疾病。
