August 22 - 26, 2023
Abstract Deadline: June 2, 2023
Organizers:
Javier Caceres, MRC Human Genetics Unit, University of Edinburgh, UK

We are pleased to host the fourteenth Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Eukaryotic mRNA Processing, which will begin at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, August 22 and run through lunch on Saturday, August 26, 2023. The meeting 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.
Topics:
- Mechanisms of RNA Splicing
- Alternative Splicing: Mechanisms, Networks, and Biological Consequences
- 3' End Processing
- RNA Modifications
- RNA Structure in Cells
- Co-transcriptional RNA Processing: Dynamics of co-transcriptional RNA processing
- RNA Turnover and Quality Control
- Viruses and RNA Processing
- RNA Processing in Disease
- RNA-Protein Interactions/RNA Complexes

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 website 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 Samantha Mastronardi, and state your financial needs; preference will be given to those who submit abstracts.
This conference is supported in part by the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health
