RNA Control and Regulation: Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, Volume LXXXIV

Previous Cold Spring Harbor Symposia have addressed many different aspects of RNA biology such as Mechanisms of Transcription (1998), The Ribosome (2001), Epigenetics (2004) and Regulatory RNAs (2006). The 84th Cold Spring Harbor Symposium focused on RNA Control & Regulation and provided a current synthesis of the enormous progress in our understanding of RNA's influence on cells and organisms and how, when aberrant, its effects may contribute to the progression of disease. It is rare to find such a wide-ranging perspective on this topic in one volume and this collection of papers will be valuable to investigators in many fields. The topics covered at the meeting included: RNA-Based Structures
RNA Modifications
Nuclear Localization of RNA
Quality Control & Editing
RNA & Gene Regulation
Cotranscriptional Splicing
Intron/Exon Boundaries
Alternative Polyadenylation
Transposon Control
Small Noncoding RNAs
Long Noncoding RNAs
RNA & Development
Membrane-Less Organelles
Phase Separation
RNA-Based Diseases
and Novel RNA Functions. Numerous speakers participated in interviews during the course of the Symposium week and this volume includes transcripts of those discussions and the Dorcas Cummings lecture, for the general public, which was given by Dr. Jennifer Doudna.
