European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) Eukaryotic RNA turnover is organized by European olecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and would be held during Jul 10 - 13, 2017 at Keble College, Oxford, England, United Kingdom.
Recent research has shown that RNA decay makes major contributions to biological regulation and cellular surveillance in eukaryotes. Fundamental RNA turnover pathways now being studied at the atomic level are conserved among yeasts, animals and plants, while each system also exhibits diversification. Central themes include regulation of mRNA turnover by AU-rich elements, and the effects of microRNAs on RNA decay and translation. In addition, numerous mechanisms eliminate RNAs that fail quality control checkpoints.
This EMBO conference will also be a major forum for discussion of the latest findings relating to altered RNA turnover in disease, and the identification of potential therapeutic targets.
