Mechanisms of eukaryotic transcription: A meeting report

Abstract

The "Mechanisms of Eukaryotic Transcription" meeting at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, organized by Stephen Buratowski (Harvard Medical School), Katherine Jones (The Salk Institute for Biological Studies) and John Lis (Cornell University), counted with 364 registered attendees, 64 speakers and 215 posters. Top-notch researchers in a very dynamic and collegial atmosphere chaired eight sessions. Here, I discuss selected presentations of each session from an impressive list of speakers. I apologize in advance to speakers whose work I did not discuss due to space constraints.
