DNA repairs (excision repairs, dsDNA break repairs, DNA recombination); 3. DNA damage response; 4. Epigenetic regulation, histone remodeling, genome structure; 5. Chromosomal segregation; 6. Human diseases. ... [Information of the supplier]
Big data analytics is transforming biology and medicine by allowing researchers to extract more information and knowledge from rapidly growing diverse types of data. This India-EMBO Symposium focuses on the translational interface of big data with biomedicine at various scales ranging from microbes to societies. The meeting, other than summarizing the potential of such applications and practical challenges therein, will specifically discuss the different requirements and the need for calibrating big data analytics to the larger purpose of the "actionable information." A computational model for prioritizing drug candidates that will undergo further pre-clinical and clinical testing, vastly differs in terms of error tolerance, from the use of large datasets to form public health policy evidence. Specifically, the "actionability" of any insight would be guided by pragmatic concerns and ethics, which vary between applications. Thus, the emphasis will be to form a well reasoned articulation ...

The study of regulatory RNAs in the control of prokaryotic genomes has become a very active and rapidly growing field. New small and large noncoding RNA molecules continue to be discovered at a staggering rate in bacterial model organisms as well as in the transcriptomes of bacterial communities. Newly discovered structural and functional aspects of such RNAs have reached a degree of breadth that requires a meeting with a strong focus on bacterial RNA research to fully address the diversity of these new regulators of gene expression and bring together the scientists involved in these studies. Regulating with RNA in Bacteria was the first conference dedicated to this topic and premiered a forum for the presentation of cutting-edge advances and the latest perspectives in the areas of discovery, mechanisms and structure of bacterial riboregulators. This conference is the successor of two well-received previous meetings that were held in Berlin (2009) and San Juan (2011), and will be co-sponsored by DFG Program SPP1258 on Sensory and regulatory RNA in prokaryotes. We believe that the topic will attract many researchers from abroad and expect up to 250 participants. Aside from lectures by a number of international experts there will be additional oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts. There also will be sufficient time and space for poster presentations. Sessions will include small regulatory RNAs, riboswitches and RNA thermometers, RNA binding proteins, RNA structure, RNA localization & processing, CRISP/CASS, and RNA bioinformatics. ...

The Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS), the European Molecular Biology Organization ( EMBO), and the French Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SFBBM) will hold a joint conference for the life sciences in 2014. The FEBS–EMBO 2014 Conference will take place from Saturday 30 August to Thursday 4 September 2014 at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, France. The year 2014 will be the 50th anniversary of FEBS and EMBO, and the centennial of the SFBBM. The meeting next year replaces the normally separate annual conferences of FEBS and EMBO, and combining our communities, we expect to bring together a wide range of researchers. Angela Nieto, Susan Gasser, Eric Westhof and Michael Reth have agreed to act as the programme committee. They have put together a scientific programme covering the breadth of the life sciences. In addition, there will be sessions on science policy, publishing and careers and education, as well as activities tailored specifically for scientists in the early stages of their careers. ...

Synthetic biology has gained much attention since Craig Venter and his team in 2010 made the historic announcement of the creation of first fully functioning, reproducing cell controlled by synthetic DNA. The 2013 NCMLS New Frontiers symposium - a joint venture between the Radboud University Medical & Science faculties - will feature international keynote speakers as well as NCMLS top researchers, who will provide high-quality presentations on current achievements and challenges ahead in our quest to understanding the chemistry and biology of life. ...

The Genetics Society of America (GSA) brings several genetics and model organism communities (e. g. C. Elegans Genetics, Ciliate Genetics, Drosophila Genetics, Mouse Genetics, Population, Evolutionary & Quantitative Genetics, Yeast Genetics and Zebrafish Genetics) together at The Allied Genetics Conference TAGC 2016 in Orlando, FL, July 13-17, 2016. This will be the first time that geneticists from a wide variety of fields will attend a joint event. Each community will have its own meeting but also the opportunity to attend plenary sessions of other communities. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
This symposium focuses on the interface of ecology and evolutionary genetics, with special emphasis placed on the interaction between organisms as a basis for understanding ecological adaptation. New sequencing-based methods are bridging the gap between modern genetics and systems-level ecological studies. This is paralleled by dramatic improvements in imaging and remote sensing, with which one can capture both spatial and temporal components of dynamic interactions between individuals and their natural environment. ...

The 18th Annual Genes, Brain & Behavior Meeting will be held in Bar Harbor, Maine, USA, May 13-17, 2016. The meeting will be held at The Jackson Laboratory. Established as a non-profit research institute in 1929, the Laboratory’s focus is on the development and use of mouse genetic models to discover genomic solutions for human disease. JAX is internationally recognized as a center for mouse genetics research and has a long history as a repository for spontaneous and induced mutant strains. The Laboratory is located in Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island, Maine, site of Acadia National Park. The Jackson Laboratory has hosted courses and meetings since the late 1950’s and has an excellent reputation for the high quality of its conferences and workshops. ... [Information of the supplier]
Individualised medicine based on patient genomes will have an enormous impact on healthcare. With breakthroughs in DNA sequencing technology, the number of sequenced genomes could reach >1 Million within 5–10 years. The simultaneous generation and integration of this associated molecular and clinical data will provide an unprecedentedly rich set of “big data” for basic research and translation. Integration of these data will provide new research opportunities, for example, through the identification of novel biomarkers or by enabling the identification of causal relationships in molecular biology through analysing complex datasets, but will also come with significant technical and bioethical challenges. This EMBL-Wellcome Genome Campus Conference on “Big Data in Biology & Health” will be held at EMBL Heidelberg, and will alternate between Heidelberg and Hinxton yearly to address the opportunities and challenges of “big data” analytics, advance basic research and explore translational opportunities. This timely interdisciplinary meeting aims to enable the European research community to participate in and help drive the future development of “big data” research, as well as raise further awareness for this new and relevant research direction in the life sciences. ...
