The Ninth International Biennial Conference on RNA Polymerases I and III (the "OddPols") was held on June 19-21, 2014 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA. Sponsored by New England Biolabs, the Cayman Chemical Company, the Rackham Graduate School and the University of Michigan Health System, and organized by David Engelke, Craig Pikaard, Lawrence Rothblum, Andrzej Wierzbicki and Astrid Engel. This year at the conference, the "odds" were increased by expanding the usual topics on the advances in RNA polymerases I and III research to include presentations on RNA polymerase IV and V. The keynote speaker, Craig Pikaard, opened the meeting with his presentation entitled "Five nuclear multisubunit RNA polymerases". The meeting drew attendees from fourteen countries that shared their research discoveries through oral and poster presentations. The talks were organized into 11 sessions covering seven distinct topics. Here we present some of the highlights from the meeting using summaries provided by the participants.
第九届RNA聚合酶I和III国际双年会议(“OddPols”)于2014年6月19日至21日在美国安阿伯市的密歇根大学举行。会议由新英格兰生物实验室、开曼化学公司、拉克姆研究生学院和密歇根大学健康系统赞助,由大卫·恩格尔克、克雷格·皮卡德、劳伦斯·罗斯布卢姆、安杰伊·维尔兹比茨基和阿斯特丽德·恩格尔组织。今年的会议上,通过将RNA聚合酶I和III研究进展的常规主题扩展到包括RNA聚合酶IV和V的报告,“亮点”有所增加。主旨演讲者克雷格·皮卡德以其题为“五种核多亚基RNA聚合酶”的报告开启了会议。会议吸引了来自14个国家的与会者,他们通过口头报告和海报展示分享了自己的研究发现。报告分为11场会议,涵盖七个不同主题。在此,我们利用与会者提供的摘要展示会议的一些亮点。
