The article presents information on the 2005 International Gap Junction Conference held in Whistler, British Columbia. Dr. Daniel Goodenough from Harvard Medical School opened the meeting with a historical review of the gap junction field as seen through the "eye of a lens." 14 platform sessions were held over the course of this 5-day meeting covering the entire field of gap junction biology. Apart from the main program, two alternate proposals for revising the current human and rodent connexin gene names, in an attempt to reduce the confusion in the field, was presented by a subcommittee on connexin gene nomenclature.
