You are cordially invited to participate in the eighth biennial meeting on Germ Cells to be held at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Long Island, New York. The meeting will begin with dinner and the first session on the evening of Tuesday, October 2 and will conclude after lunch on Saturday, October 6, 2012. The specific goals of this conference are to bring together a diverse group of scientists studying various molecular, cellular and genetic aspects of germ line and gamete development. This meeting is intended to provide a format for the exchange of ideas and information, to discuss the latest research findings and technical advances, and to facilitate the intellectual unification of research on germ cells and related disease states in diverse systems.
Topics:
Germ Cell Specification, Migration and Fate
Germ Line Stem Cells
Germ Line Stem Cells, Gonocyte Proliferation, and the Switch from Mitosis to Meiosis
Meiosis
Germline and Soma Communication
Transcriptional Control and Epigenetic Programming
Post-transcriptional Control and Small RNAs in Gametogenesis and Early Embryos
Fertilization, Egg Patterning, Reprogramming, and the Oocyte to Embryo Transition The format of the meeting will include seven oral sessions consisting of invited and short talks, chosen from the submitted abstracts, and one poster session.
