Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Chromosome Dynamics is a unique forum for graduate students and post-docs to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is to provide an intimate and collegial atmosphere for young scientists to discuss unpublished work on mechanistic aspects of bacterial, archaeal and eukaryotic genome organization. The meeting will cover a wide range of topics in chromosome biology, including DNA architecture, recombination, replication, repair, segregation and transcription.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Chromosome Dynamics" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
