(C2) Keystone Symposia: Mobile Genetic Elements and Genome Evolution
Conference - Santa Fe, NM, United States
The conference will:
• Apply recent innovations in high-throughput sequencing and genome analysis to the study of transposon biology and genome evolution;
• Discuss the discovery of cellular systems that inhibit transposon activity as examples of the evolutionary arms race that exists between mobile DNA and their hosts;
• Describe active transposition during neurogenesis and in tumor cells and raise fundamental questions about the role of mobile DNA in brain development and cancer.
Session Topics:
• Transposon Applications and Human Health
• A Transposon-Eye View of Primate Evolution
• Mechanisms of Genome Evolution I & II
• The Contribution of Host Factors to DNA Mobility
• The Biological Impact of Mobile DNA, Friend or Foe I & II
• The Interface between Mobile DNA, DNA Replication and DNA Repair/
The Molecular Face of Transposition
plus workshops on late-breaking topics
