2nd International Conference on the Long and the Short of Non-Coding RNAs

lncrna

When: 09/06/2017 – 14/06/2017 Where: Heraklion, Crete, Greece Conference Center: Aldemar Knossos Royal Village Conference Center It has been more than a decade since scientists realized that microRNAs (miRNAs) and Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNAs) are not mere oddities invented by worms and flies to regulate gene expression at epigenetic and post-transcriptional levels. Rather, many of these 21-31-nucleotide-short RNAs function in invertebrates ...
