You are cordially invited to participate in the 17th meeting on EUKARYOTIC DNA REPLICATION & GENOME MAINTENANCE which will begin on the evening of Tuesday, September 3, and end after lunch on Saturday, September 7, 2019. We are looking forward to a broad-based meeting, and abstracts are welcomed on all aspects of replication of DNA and genomic instability in eukaryotes. The format of the meeting will include morning and afternoon/evening sessions consisting of short talks, principally on unpublished work. In addition, there will be at least two poster sessions.

Topics:
  • Replication Initiation Mechanisms and Requirements
  • Replication Structure and Termination
  • Fork Stalling, Recovery and Generation of Mutation
  • Responses to Replication and Transcription Stress
  • Chemical Tools and Human Disease, ORC and Replication Origins
  • Origin Mapping
  • Chromatin and Replication Timing
  • Checkpoint Signaling, Stress and the Cell Cycle
    Discussion Leaders:

    Alessandro Costa, The Francis Crick Institute, UK
    Jessica Downs, The Institute of Cancer Research, UK
    Anindya Dutta, University of Virginia
    Catherine Fox, University of Wisconsin Madison

    Please bring this notice to the attention of any of your colleagues who may be interested in participating in the meeting.

    All abstracts must be submitted by the abstract deadline. Late registrations may be accepted after the abstract deadline if the meeting is not oversubscribed. In the event of over-subscription, every effort will be made to ensure that all groups who wish to participate will be represented. The status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site as soon as decisions have been made by the organizers.

    We are eager to have as many young people as possible attend since they are likely to benefit most from this meeting. We have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs. Please apply in writing via email to Val Pakaluk and state your financial needs; preference will be given to those who submit abstracts.
