About the Meeting

The 12^th meeting for Integrative RNA Biology brings together computational and experimental experts that drive new advances in RNA biology and overcome the computational challenges involved. The meeting covers different aspects of RNA biology, such as alternative splicing, alternative polyadenylation (APA), post-transcriptional regulation, RNA 2D/3D structure, and the expression and function of non-coding RNAs, such as micro-RNAs (miRNAs), small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs), PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), or long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA). Studying these functional RNAs in the context of disease and therapeutics using high-throughput technologies such as RNA-Seq and CLIP-Seq, raise many computational challenges that are discussed at the meeting.

What you can expect

This year we have an exciting line-up of researchers from academia and industry that cover advances and challenges in RNA quantification methods, targeting RNAs for therapeutic application, the role of RNA binding proteins in cancer, RNA processing, epigenetics, lncRNA and evolution.

Join us to learn more about RNA biology and the computational challenges involved. The meeting includes invited speakers, short talks selected from submitted abstracts and an interactive poster session with a poster prize. The meeting concludes with a dinner that will give you a chance to mingle and interact with organizers, speakers, and other attendees in an informal and relaxed setting.
