*********
The current COVID-19 situation is challenging and difficult for all of us - we hope this virtual conference will allow colleagues to share and discuss their latest research, while under travel and stay-at-home restrictions.
*********
We are pleased to host the thirteenth Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Eukaryotic mRNA Processing, which will focus on the mechanisms and regulation of mRNA splicing, polyadenylation, turnover, localization and RNA interference. It will include all aspects mRNA transport, processing and control, including ncRNA function, regulation of viral RNAs and disease implication of mRNA processing. 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. The meeting will be held virtually, beginning late morning ET on Tuesday, August 24, and ending late afternoon ET on Friday, August 27, 2021.
The program will include a mixture of full and half oral sessions, and poster sessions throughout the meeting. Full sessions are chaired by two discussion leaders, while half sessions are chaired by one discussion leader:

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. 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 Alicia Franco and state your financial needs; preference will be given to those who submit abstracts.
