We are pleased to offer the fifth Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Telomeres & Telomerase to bring together a diverse group of scientists studying various molecular, cellular and genetic aspects of telomeres and telomerase biology. The meeting will begin at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, May 2, and run through lunch on Sunday, May 6, 2007. The meeting is intended to provide a format for the exchange of ideas and information, to discuss the latest research findings and technical advances, and to facilitate interaction amongst groups active in diverse systems.

Topics and co-Session Chairs:
Telomerase Structure and Biochemistry
Chantal Autexier & Thomas Cech

Telomeres and Recombination
Roger Reddel & Michael McEachern

Telomere Length Regulation
David Shore & Virginia Zakian

End Resection and Protection

Abstracts should contain only new and unpublished material and must be submitted electronically by the abstract deadline. Selection of material for oral and poster presentation will be made by the organizers and individual session chairs. Status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.
