Understanding processes involving DNA and RNA at the molecular and chemical level is the central theme of this conference, with a marked structural and mechanistic perspective. Every two years we have a hot topic theme and have previously covered ribosome, spliceosome, exosome, ncRNA regulation, DNA replication initiation, DNA topology and repair at past meetings. 

Key Discussion Topics:

•    DNA replication
•    DNA repair
•    DNA recombination
•    RNA structure and function
•    Translation and the ribosome
•    Silencing
•    CRISPR/Cas and genome editing
•    Gene regulation and riboswitches
•    RNA catalysis
