Genome Integrity Discussion Group
Maintaining the stability of genetic information coded in DNA is an important part of the cell cycle. How the cell does so is pertinent to many human disease states, including cancer, which can result from damage to the genome.
The Genome Integrity Discussion Group fosters interactions between groups working on subjects including DNA replication, transcription, chromatin modification, recombination, DNA damage responses, cell cycle control, site-specific recombination, transposition, meiosis, mitosis, telomeres, chromosome segregation, epigenetic states, and new technologies relevant to research in genome integrity. The informal format of this group includes talks by students, postdocs, and junior and senior investigators. This provides an opportunity to exchange ideas, network, and form research collaborations among scientists active in the field.
