Dear colleagues,
The fourth international scientific conference Chromosome 2018 will be held from August 20 to 24, 2018, at the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology SB RAS. The Conference will cover following important topics:
- Chromosome organization and functions in mitosis and meiosis
- Genetic organization of interphase chromosomes
- Epigenetics
- Genomes evolution
- Chromosomal breaks and abnormalities
- Mitochondrail DNA
- Chromosomes in medicine
- Molecular basis of biological processes in chromosomes
We expect that the Conference will achieve the highest scientific level as well as encourage creative connections between Russian and foreign scholars. The Conference will become a source of professional growth for young researches, and will also help in scientific traditions development. The reports will be presented by both young researchers and world recognized leaders in the field of structural and functional chromosome organization.
The conference program includes oral talks and poster presentations, 15-25 minutes are provided for speakers. Preferred language for the Conference is English. A simultaneous translation will be provided in case your report is in Russian and we highly recommend having all inscriptions of your presentation slides to be in English.
