SUMMARY:FASEB: Dynamic DNA Structures in Biology
DESCRIPTION:For decades after its discovery\, genomic DNA was believed to exist only as a right-handed\, double helix known as B-DNA.  Its sole functions were to serve as a template for RNA synthesis or as a template for the production of identical duplexes during chromosome replication.  These core beliefs were shaken by the discovery that DNA is covalently modified and packaged into chromatin\, and that the molecule can form an enormous variety of non-B alternative structures\, including cruciforms\, a left-handed helix\, three- and four-stranded helices\, and slip-strand configurations.  Transient denaturation of the duplex during all major DNA transactions (replication\, transcription\, repair and recombination) requires chromatin modifications and promotes dynamic transitions to non-B DNA structures.  Furthermore\, repetitive DNA sequences\, which are highly over-represented in genomic DNA\, are particularly prone to structural transitions.  Studies conducted in many labs worldwide have confirmed that structural transitions are not only central to normal functions of the genome\, but also are responsible for occasional malfunctioning that leads to a disease state.  The most striking example is expansion of structure-prone DNA repeats\, which is responsible for more than thirty hereditary neurological and developmental diseases. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis SRC is the fourth meeting on Dynamic DNA Structures in Biology\, a highly interactive meeting that brings together a diverse\, international community of researchers who maintain a “DNA-centric” view of basic biological processes.  Attendees will include those interested in disease-causing repeat expansions\, chromatin dynamics\, chromosome fragility related to transcription and replication\, and the biological roles of unusual\, non-B DNA structures.  Morning and evening scientific sessions will feature established and new investigators\, and ample time for discussion will be incorporated into the program.  In addition\, short talks chosen from submitted abstracts will be included in session\, with preference given to trainees.  Afternoon poster sessions will further foster the exchange of ideas and facilitate the establishment of new collaborations.  It is anticipated that funds will be available to support the attendance of young investigators and trainees.

SUMMARY:FASEB meeting: Biological Methylation\, Fundamental Mechanisms in Health and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Conference Summary\nThis SRC is focused on  the role of Methylation Dynamics in nuclear and cytoplasmic biological processes and how this modification impacts development\, epigenetic cellular identity\, tissue homeostasis and disease. Studies looking at how this chemical modification impacts nucleic acid and protein function across model systems and in disease models will be presented. These topics will be complemented with presentations on how methylation states are established\, maintained\, interpreted and inter-converted\, along with their functional cellular consequences  and how this translates into developmental and disease states. Since methylation has become a major therapeutic target in recent years\, there will be a focus on the advancements in therapeutics and technologies used to quantitatively monitor this modification in cells and organisms. \nThis meeting will bring together an interdisciplinary group of scientists interested in how a small covalent modification can have such profound biological impact.  Invited speakers are experts in biological methylation from a variety of perspectives including cell and developmental biology\, molecular biology\, epigenetics/epigenomics\,  structural biology and chemical biology.  The conference will be structured to optimize interactions among all attendees\, with several poster sessions and technology workshops. A significant number of oral presentations will be chosen from poster abstracts submitted by trainees and junior faculty.  This conference will also be an excellent opportunity for scientists less familiar with methylation mediated signaling and epigenetics to learn how this rapidly evolving field could impact their research.

SUMMARY:RNA structure meets function
DESCRIPTION:Recent developments in sequencing technology have revealed widespread transcription of the eukaryotic genome\, uncovering an overwhelming quantity of novel functional RNAs. The list of these RNAs is constantly increasing and already includes lncRNAs\, circular RNAs and enhancer RNAs. The basic mechanisms of action of these RNAs remain to be elucidated and are most likely highly correlated with RNA secondary and tertiary structure\, as previously found in examples of other RNAs\, e.g. ribosomal RNAs and tRNAs. Nevertheless\, the connection between RNA structural biology and RNA function is still in its infancy. Therefore\, the overall aim of this EMBO Workshop is to promote scientific exchange and synergies across the fields of RNA structure and RNA function\, by gathering leading established and upcoming scientists to discuss and exchange the most recent advances in these areas and cutting-edge technologies to tackle them. \nRNA structure meets function<style type=”text/css”> #if-noJS {	display:block; } #menu\, #stamp {	top:50px; }< /style>  \n\n\n\n\n\nAmong the topics to be covered in the EMBO Workshop are: \n\nstructural RNA biology\nlarge RNA complexes\nregulatory RNAs and chromatin\nRNA dynamics\nregulatory & non-coding RNAs

SUMMARY:Wellcome Trust - Waddington Symposium: Epigenetics in dialogue with the genome
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the home page of the Wellcome Trust – Waddington Symposium Epigenetics in dialogue with THE GENOME \nThe epigenetics field encompasses diverse opinions – even the definition of the word is controversial. How much our own make-up is genetic and what proportion of it is epigenetically determined is also hotly debated. Moreover\, the ability of apparent epigenetic phenotypes (epi-alleles) to be propagated through the germline to the next generation (transgenerational epigenetic inheritance) remains contentious. These conceptual arguments take place against a background of increasing research activity – epigenetics is one of the most active areas in biomedical research. Large-scale mapping projects\, for example\, provide increasingly detailed descriptions of the “epigenome”\, raising as yet incompletely answered questions about the biological role of these chemical marks. Meanwhile there is growing interest in the therapeutic potential of “epigenetic drugs” that can modulate the epigenetic landscape. Genes encoding proteins that read\, write or erase epigenetic marks are often mutated in cancer or in neurological disease. The purpose of this meeting is to provide a forum where the breadth of biological phenomena that impinge on epigenetics can be presented by leading international figures in epigenetics research. The selected speakers reflects our wish that alternative views will be aired and constructively discussed. Our intention is that this will be seen as a landmark meeting\, contributing clarity to one of the most exciting areas of contemporary biomedical research.

SUMMARY:Chromatin Structure and Function: Regulating and Re-Engineering Chromatin: Control of Genome Function
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Description\n\nThe 2016 Gordon Conference on Chromatin Structure and Function will present leading-edge research on chromatin and its role in regulating gene expression\, genome function and cell states. The meeting will highlight how chromatin structures\, ranging from the nucleosome – the “building block” of chromatin – up to the dynamic three-dimensional spatial organization of chromatin\, are regulated and how they control genome functions. \nQuestions at the frontier of the field will be addressed – how is the activity of chromatin proteins regulated\, what is the cross-talk between different chromatin states\, how does folding of chromatin allow for long-range gene regulation\, what is the role of RNA in directing chromatin structure? \nPresentations will encompass a wide variety of technical approaches – from Angstrom level description of chromatin components to visualization of micron-scale structures by light microscopy\, and the use of quantitative proteomics and computational modeling. There will be a focus on new methods for engineering and re-engineering chromatin states to determine the relationships between chromatin structure and function\, and on analysis at the level of single molecules and single cells. \nThis conference has a long history of attracting the very top researchers in the area of chromatin structure and function\, and is an important forum for fostering new ideas\, interactions and collaborations. We aim to integrate new members into this growing field; talks will be reserved for young scientists and minorities\, and all applicants will have the opportunity to present a poster on their work. Many platform presentation topics will be selected from submitted abstracts to ensure inclusion of the latest developments during the formal sessions. Sufficient discussion time will be scheduled into every session to promote the lively exchange of ideas and interpretations and there will be ample time set aside in the afternoons and after the evening sessions for the informal interactions that have always played a key role at this conference.
