 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks partial support for the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) conference on Genetic Recombination and Genome Rearrangements to be held July 19-24, 2015 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This will be the 16th in a series of highly successful bi-annual conferences devoted to these topics. This conference aims to join investigators studying many diverse aspects of genetic recombination, in a range of biological systems and with different experimental approaches. Presentations will introduce new and unpublished work on timely questions in the field and will include discussion from all participants. The FASEB conference provides unique opportunities for the exchange of information and technology that can be appreciated and exploited across the recombination field. The conference covers many areas of significance for cancer. Homologous recombination is an important mechanism for preventing genome rearrangements that can promote the oncogenic state, and many genes/proteins involved in the mechanisms and regulation of recombination have been identified as tumor suppressor genes. Hence, studies of recombination mechanisms are paramount to understanding the etiology of cancer, to develop critical biomarkers, and to identify potential candidate tumor suppressors. In addition, induction of systemic or localized DNA damage by chemotherapy or radiation remains a major modality of anti-cancer treatment. The types of relevant DNA damages include DNA double-stranded breaks and interstrand crosslinks, and recombination is a central cellular pathway to repair such damage. Therefore, increased knowledge on the regulation and mechanism of these repair processes will provide fundamental understanding to inform novel strategies of anti-cancer treatment leading to more efficacious treatment. This conference joins investigators studying many diverse aspects of genetic recombination, in a range of biological systems and with different experimental approaches. Presentations will introduce new and unpublished work in the field and will encourage discussion from all participants. Discussions will include the role of the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA2 in the control of recombination, the role of recombination in repair of DNA damage caused by cancer treatment relevant drugs and radiation. Characterization of recombination and repair factors known to underlie human syndromes with propensity to cancer, premature aging, immune dysfunction and neurological degeneration will also be discussed, using mammalian and other model genetic systems. By emphasizing truly exceptional research in a conference setting that fosters direct interaction, the FASEB conference provides unique opportunities for the exchange of information, technology and perspective among new and established investigators in the recombination field.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求对将于 2015 年 7 月 19 日至 24 日在科罗拉多州斯廷博特斯普林斯举行的美国实验生物学会联合会 (FASEB) 基因重组和基因组重排会议的部分支持。这是专门讨论这些主题的一系列非常成功的两年一度会议的第 16 次会议，旨在与研究人员一起研究一系列生物学领域的基因重组的许多不同方面。演讲将介绍有关该领域及时问题的新的和未发表的工作，并将包括所有参与者的讨论，为交流信息和技术提供了独特的机会，可以在重组过程中欣赏和利用这些信息和技术。该会议涵盖了对癌症具有重要意义的许多领域。因此，重组机制的研究对于了解癌症的病因、开发关键的生物标志物以及识别潜在的候选肿瘤抑制基因至关重要。此外，通过化疗或放疗诱导全身或局部 DNA 损伤仍然是癌症的主要方式。相关DNA损伤的类型包括DNA双链断裂和链间交联，重组是修复此类损伤的核心细胞途径，因此，增加对这些修复过程的调节和机制的了解将提供基础知识。告知本次会议将与研究人员一起研究基因重组的许多不同方面，在一系列生物系统中采用不同的实验方法，介绍该领域新的和未发表的工作。所有参与者的讨论将包括乳腺癌易感基因BRCA2在重组控制中的作用、重组在修复癌症治疗相关药物和辐射引起的DNA损伤中的作用。 FASEB 会议还将利用哺乳动物和其他模型遗传系统，讨论导致人类癌症、早衰、免疫功能障碍和神经退行性疾病倾向的已知因素。重组领域新老研究者之间交流信息、技术和观点的独特机会。
