Report
Please follow the link below to read the Editorial from the 2nd DNA and Interacting Proteins as Single Molecules - In Vitro and In Vivo 2020 Conference.
https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/49/11/6005/6307326?login=true
Synopsis
The advent of single-molecule approaches has revolutionized our understanding of Molecular Biology. Combined advances in light microscopy, microfluidics, atomic force microscopy, and DNA sequencing have opened ways to bypass population averages and study individual molecular events for a variety of cellular processes.
This meeting aims to present the most recent advances in the mechanistic understanding of DNA metabolic processes at the single-molecule level, using both in vivo and in vitro approaches.
Sessions will cover various aspects of:
- DNA replication
- DNA recombination
- DNA repair
- Transcription
- Chromosome dynamics
- Genomics
Each session will be divided into in vitro and in vivo sections to highlight differences and complementary information obtained.

Target Audience
Researchers interested in the study of DNA metabolic events at the single molecule level: both in vitro and in vivo. Processes to be focused on – DNA replication, DNA recombination, DNA repair and transcription. In addition, single cell sequencing/genomics groups will also be targeted.
Educational Need
The single molecule field initially focused on experiments done in vitro. As the field has evolved and new technologies were developed, the understanding of single molecule behaviour in live cells has become increasingly important. The two fields have developed largely separately and by combining these into a single meeting will educate scientists on the value of and difficulties associated with both approaches to understanding key elements in genome maintenance, and the passage of genetic information from DNA to protein.
