Abstract submission
AS-SIG features a keynote talk (55 minutes, additional questions),
invited talks (45min, additional questions), as well as short talks (15min, additional questions)
and posters selected
from submitted abstracts, based on scientific quality and novelty.
Talk and poster abstracts
will be published in the SIG handout.
Abstracts are invited in, but not limited to, the following areas:
Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression (Session I)
Model systems, from yeast to human;
mRNA isofoms, conservation and divergence; expression
and regulation of tissue- and developmental stage-specific genes; RNA processing (including
and ends, decay, editing, and antisense);
evolution, splicing/alternative splicing, exon shuffling,
intron gain and loss;
RNA regulatory maps, determination of cis-functional elements active in
splice site choice;
high-throughput, sequencing and microarrays; platforms: annotation, storage,
and data exchange formats

Protein structure, functional impact, and interactions (Session II)
Interaction, splicing factors and their interaction with cis-regulatory functional elements;
function,
impact of isoforms on protein structure and function;
RNA quality control, scope and action of
NMD; chemogenomics and small-molecules-protein interactions
Splicing and RNA pathogenesis (Session III)
Identification, classification and characterization of cryptic splice variants linked to disease in
human and model systems; disease, tools and strategies to detect pathogenic splice variations
and to restore authentic and/or suppress disease-associated variants
Please submit an abstract of one to two pages
to the
Organizing Committee, using the provided template
(Template.doc).
Please indicate if
you wish to present a talk or poster.
We encourage all speakers to bring posters to the poster session.
