David Catcheside and Yi Liu are arranging the scientific program this year, and Nora Plesofsky and Oded Yarden are handling other organizational matters. You probably recall that the Neurospora community decided several years ago to reestablish meetings devoted exclusively to Neurospora. The main purpose was to reclaim the spirit of the fabulous meetings that many of us enjoyed prior to expanding the meeting to become the Fungal Genetics Meeting. Neurospora 2008 will be the sixth reincarnated Neurospora meeting and all indications are that it will be a great success. Thursday night will include a special Metzenberg Memorial followed by a reception/mixer. Research talks will be presented Friday morning and afternoon, Saturday morning and afternoon, and Sunday morning. Poster presentations will be made Friday and Saturday evenings, with the posters available for viewing throughout the meeting from Friday through Sunday morning. There will be some free time in the afternoons (1:00-2:30), but those wishing to take excursions may wish to do so Thursday or Sunday afternoon. All participants are encouraged to present their work on posters. Approximately 80% of the research talks will be by invited speakers. Additional speakers will be selected from those submitting poster abstracts. Those selected will be notified in early February and invited to present a short talk in one of the plenary sessions. A preliminary listing of plenary sessions is presented below: I. Gene Silencing, Sex, Repair, and Recombination II. Clocks and Light III. Cell Growth, Morphogenesis, and Populations IV. Gene Regulation and Cell Signaling V. Genomics and Methodology The final program will be posted on the Fungal Genetics Stock Center website in two weeks. We expect Neurospora 2008 to be an exceptionally fine meeting and we hope you can come!

The meeting will consist of five plenary sessions and two poster sessions.

DAVID PERKINS AWARD A fund has been established in honor of our colleague, Dr. David Perkins, to support students attending the Neurospora and Fungal Genetics Conferences. Nominations for the Perkins Award are requested for graduate students and postdoctoral scientists that utilize Neurospora as an experimental system. Nominations should include a 200 word description of the individual’s contributions from the candidate's research advisor, as well as reprints or preprints of recent work using Neurospora. Nomination letter and reprints should be submitted by January 15, 2006 to: Dr. Nora Plesofsky Chair, Neurospora Policy Committee Department of Plant Biology University of Minnesota St. Paul, MN 55108 Published by New Prairie Press, 2017 5 Fungal Genetics Reports, Vol. 55 [2008], Art. 14 ASILOMAR CONFERENCE CENTER Asilomar Conference Center is located on 105 acres of forest, dune and beach at the tip of California's historic Monterey Peninsula. Overlooking the Pacific, living and meeting accommodations are set among Monterey pines and cypresses. As a "Natural Area," Asilomar retains many of the original flora and fauna of the peninsula. The tide pools of Asilomar State Beach are just a pleasant stroll across the dunes. The famous "17 Mile Drive," beginning half a mile from Asilomar, winds through the Del Monte Forest to Carmel-by-the-Sea. In Monterey, Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf provide excellent shopping, sightseeing and dining. Nearby Carmel is famed for its shopping, art and craft galleries. Group tours of the Peninsula, the Del Monte Forest and historic Monterey may be arranged through the Asilomar Conference Center. The weather is brisk (40 - 60°F) with a possibility of rain. Bring warm clothing and a raincoat. Transportation Monterey is the closest commercial airport to Asilomar. Taxis cost approximately $25 to Asilomar (about 20 minutes). The closest major airports are, in order of convenience, San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland. Accommodations All rooms have private baths. There are very few singles available. Requests for single rooms will be honored in the order received. Rates vary with accommodation. All rates include meals, beginning with Thursday dinner and concluding with Sunday lunch. No refunds are available for missed meals. Rates for children are as follows: Infants under 3 years of age may stay in any room with no charge. Children from 3-17 years old

The ease of culture, amenability to genetic and molecular genetic analysis, and the close correlation between genetic and biochemical traits are some of its Jennifer Loros advantages. Research with Neurospora has provided insights unachievable from work with simpler systems and difcult to extract from more complicated ones, cementing its position as a leading model system.

(August 2008) He Huang, B.Eng., Beijing University of Chemical Technology Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Deborah Bell-Pedersen Circadian clocks are present in most eukaryotes and some prokaryotes and control rhythms in behavior, physiology and gene expression. One well-characterized circadian clock is that of Neurospora crassa. In addition to the well-described N. crassa FRQ/WCC oscillator, several lines of evidence have implied the presence of other oscillators which may have important functions in the N. crassa circadian clock system. However, the molecular details are only known for the core FRQ/WCC oscillator. The light mutant oscillator (LMO) was identified by two mutations (LM-1 and LM-2) and shown to control developmental rhythms in constant light (LL), conditions in which the FRQ/WCC oscillator is not functional. The objective of this project was to determine whether the developmental rhythms driven by the LMO are circadian, whether the components of the LMO communicate with components of the FRQ/WCC oscillator, and to begin to define the molecular nature of the LMO.

I will present our current understanding about how A:T-rich DNA, such as that resulting from RIP, triggers methylation. Our efforts to elucidate the control of DNA methylation in vegetative cells have revealed mechanistic ties between modifications of DNA and histones.
