  • Events on March 5, 2012
    • Targeting Non-Coding RNA
      Starts: March 5, 2012
      Ends: March 7, 2012 - 4:30 pm
      Description: Targeting Non-Coding RNA -The Long and the Short of It

      RNA has traditionally been thought of as a molecule that imparts information, structure or catalytic activities. The role of a subset of RNA known as non-coding RNA (ncRNA) – including small non-coding RNAs (siRNAs, piRNAs, and miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) – has increasingly come under scientific scrutiny. Recent progress suggests that the involvement of ncRNAs in human diseases could be far more prevalent than previously appreciated. Multiple lines of evidence increasingly link mutations and dysregulations of ncRNAs to diverse human diseases, ranging from neurodegeneration to cancer.

  • Events on March 31, 2012
    • Keystone Symposium: Non-coding RNAs
      Starts: March 31, 2012
      Ends: April 6, 2012 - 12:00 am
      Description: It has become apparent that RNA plays a major, but still largely unexplored, role in the regulation of gene expression. It is becoming increasingly evident that longer forms of non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are involved directly in regulating gene expression and epigenetic states. These long ncRNAs appear to be functioning as an endogenous RNA regulatory system, playing a major role in the epigenetic control of differentiation and development. These observations, across various model systems, strongly suggest that long ncRNAs are more intricately involved in the regulation of gene expression than previously envisioned. The goal of the Keystone Symposia meeting on Non-Coding RNAs is to highlight the similarities and differences in various model systems to better understand the role of long ncRNAs in the regulation of genomes. This is an entirely new emerging field of study that is on the forefront of modern biology. Opportunities for interdisciplinary interactions will be significantly enhanced by the concurrent meeting on Eukaryotic Transcription, which will share a plenary session with this meeting.
