   Elba, Italy, has recently launched a series of regular conferences and
   scientific workshops on various subjects.
   
   Within this scheme, the first EL.B.A. Foundation Conference on "Genome
   structure and function" will be held in Marciana Marina, Isle of Elba,
   Italy, on June 14-25, 1996, with the co-sponsorship of North Atlantic
   Treaty Organization as a "NATO Advanced Study Institute".
   
   The meeting will be co-directed by Prof. Claudio Nicolini, President
   of the EL.B.A. Foundation, and Prof. Konstantin Skryabin, Director of
   the Center "Bioengineering", Moscow, Russia.
   
   
   
   Besides the keynote lectures, the program of which is attached, short
   presentations on the outlined general lines are invited. All those
   willing to participate are kindly invited to submit their
   contributions in a form of extended abstract to the Organizing
