The specific goals of this conference are to bring together a diverse group of scientists studying various molecular, cellular and genetic aspects of germ line and gamete development. The meeting is intended to provide a format for the exchange of ideas and information, to discuss the latest research findings and technical advances, and to facilitate the intellectual unification of research on germ cells and related disease states in diverse systems.

The topics will include:

• Germline Evolution
• Sex Determination
• Germline Stem Cells & Their Niche
• Meiosis, Chromosome Mechanics & Cell Biology
• Gametes & Fertilization
• Epigenetics & Egg-to-Embryo Transition
• Environmental & Hormonal Control
• Post-transcriptional Control
