2^nd DNA and Interacting Proteins as Single Molecules - In Vitro and In Vivo Conference

DNA Replication, Recombination, Repair and Transcription at the single molecule-level #DIPSM20

20 Feb 2020 - 23 Feb 2020

Nassau, Bahamas

Chairs

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.

Student Offer

Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity for students! Register an academic at the full rate and bring a student for only $850. Unfortunately, Postdocs are not eligible for this offer. Both registration packages include; accommodation for the 20, 21, 22 February 2020 (on a shared basis for students) and a 24hour all-inclusive food and beverage package for the conference period.

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.

We have several poster opportunities available at this meeting. To be considered for a poster presentation, please register for the conference and upload your abstract when prompted to do so. You will be able to monitor the status of your abstract through your Fusion account and you will also receive an email if you are successful or unsuccessful.

Please use the abstract template provided (see below) and ensure your abstract is no longer than one page in length.

Our poster boards can accommodate a maximum poster size of A0 (1189H x 841W mm), portrait in orientation. Posters exceeding this size may not fit on the poster boards provided and therefore we may be unable to display your poster, so please kindly keep to these measurements.

Displaying & Presenting Your Poster

Please bring your poster to registration and hand this to a member of the Fusion team. They will advise of your poster number and display your poster for you.

Your poster will remain on display for the duration of the conference, allowing presenters to take advantage of the refreshment breaks and free time for valuable networking opportunities, in addition to the official poster session.

Please check the programme and note the date and time of the poster session(s). Your poster will be judged during the poster session and prizes will be awarded at the Gala Dinner.

Posters will be taken down by the Fusion team and will be ready for collection at the Fusion desk on the final day of the conference.
