Post-transcriptional Gene Regulation in Plants
10 - 11 July 2015 at Paris (FRANCE)
the Society of Horticultural de France, in Paris, France.
The PGRP meeting followed the ICAR 2015 Arabidopsis conference for 2 days,
the 10 and 11th of July 2015.
The symposium brought together about 150 participants in a rather informal atmosphere, facilitating informal exchanges and development of new collaborations.
Several aspects of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression were covered :
pre-mRNA processing (capping, splicing, polyadenylation), RNA stability, and translation as well as new connections chromatin modifications through regulatory RNAs (miRNA, siRNAs and long non-coding RNAs).
Many slots were reserved for young researchers to present their work in each session.
The small size of this meeting provided a highly interactive environment to facilitate an exchange of ideas, networking and collaborations across disciplines (informatics, biochemistry, genomics) in this major area of gene regulation.
