1997 Cold Spring Harbor Conference On Mechanisms of Eukaryotic Transcription Held On August 27-31, 1997, in Cold Spring Harbor, Ny. @ Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
9722896 Hernandez The "Mechanisms of Eucaryotic Transcription" conference will be an open international meeting devoted to the most recent advances in the rapidly evolving field of eucaryotic transcription. This meeting follows four highly successful meetings on the same topic held in Cold Spring Harbor in 1989, 1991, 1993, and 1995, and will be organized according to the same basic format. The meeting will be open with attendance limited only by the facilities available to a maximum of 425 participants. Oral presentations will consist of a combination of invited presentations and selected presentations from submitted abstracts. This ensures the participation of junior and senior leaders in the field and the presentation of the most exciting results emerging at the time of the meeting. The oral presentations will be complemented by poster presentations in three poster sessions, also selected from submitted abstracts. The areas covered by the meeting on "Mechanisms of Eucaryotic Transcription" include studies on 1) the structure and function of the basal transcription apparatus, 2) the regulation of RNA polymerase activity, 3) activation mechanisms involving interactions between activators and the basal transcription machinery, 4) the structure and function of regulatory complexes, 5) chromatin structure and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, and 6) repression mechanisms. A number of eucaryotic systems including mammalian, Drosophila, and yeast, will be represented along with selected procaryotic topics to create a didactic conference. The aim of the conference, "Mechanisms of Eucaryotic Transcription", is to bring together scientists working in this rapidly developing field so that the latest results can be discussed, critically evaluated, and fitted into a general picture. Transcription of a gene is the first step in its expression. Although many meetings contain a few sessions on transcription, there are few meetings that are devoted entirely to the topic of how transcription is achiev ed and regulated in the cell. ***

1999 Cshl Conference On Mechanisms of Eukaryotic Transcription to Be Held September 1-5, 1999, Cold Spring Laboratory, New York @ Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Hernandez 9973724
On September 1 through September 5, 1999, the sixth biannual session of the conference "Mechanisms of Eucaryotic Transcription" will be held at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. This will be an open international meeting devoted to the most recent advances in the rapidly evolving field of eucaryotic transcription. Attendance will be limited only by the available facilities, which can accommodate a maximum of 425 participants. Oral presentations will be a combination of those invited and those selected from submitted abstracts. This ensures the participation of junior and senior leaders in the field and the presentation of the most exciting results emerging at the time of the meeting. The oral presentations will be complemented by poster presentations, also selected from submitted abstracts. The areas covered by the meeting include studies on 1) RNA polymerase, 2) global regulation, 3) chromatin remodelling and access to the template, 4) regulatory complexes, 5) gene-specific regulatory mechanisms, 6) activation mechanisms, 7) regulation of regulators, and 8) promoter clearance and elongation. A number of eucaryotic systems including mammalian, Drosophila, nematode, and yeast will be represented.
The control of transcription is probably the most important step in the control of gene expression. The understanding of how transcription is achieved and regulated is essential for understanding cell growth and differentiation, development, and cellular transformation. This meeting will promote our understanding of this area by enabling its research community to exchange and develop findings and ideas.

Conference: Mechanisms of Eukaryotic Transcription Conference to Be Held August 29-September 2, 2001, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, New York @ Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
The Mechanisms of Eucaryotic Transcription conference will be an open international meeting devoted to the most recent advances in the rapidly evolving field of eucaryotic transcription. This meeting follows six highly successful meetings on the same topic held in Cold Spring Harbor in 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, and 1999, and will be organized according to the same basic format. The meeting will be open with attendance limited only by the facilities available to a maximum of 450 participants. Oral presentations will consist of a combination of invited presentations and selected presentations from submitted abstracts. This ensures the participation of junior and senior leaders in the field and the presentation of the most exciting results emerging at the time of the meeting. The oral presentations will be complemented by poster presentations in three poster sessions, also selected from submitted abstracts. The areas covered by the meeting include studies on 1) central components, 2) persistent effects on the template, 3) chromatin, 4) regulatory complexes I, 5) regulatory complexes II, 6) activation mechanisms, 7) regulatory pathways, and 8) promoter opening, clearance and elongation. A number of eucaryotic systems including mammalian systems, Drosophila, nematode, and yeast will be represented.
Gene transcription, the process by which the information in a gene is converted into a mobile form for use by the cell, is an essential process in all living things. This meeting will help disseminate current research findings on this vital topic and will stimulate and facilitate further advances.
