RNA Editing (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

RNA and DNA Editing and Modification

January 5 - 6, 2013
Chairs Yiannis A. Savva and Claire E. Hamilton
Grand Galvez
2024 Seawall Boulevard
Galveston, TX, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on RNA Editing is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting will be on the structural insights, target site recognition, catalysis, regulation, and functional interactions of diverse nucleic acid editing and modification mechanisms, as well as on the evolution, diversity, biological roles, and medical impacts of editing and modification.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "RNA Editing" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
