RNAi2009

The 4th Annual Oxford RNAi Conference, RNAi2009, will address most aspects of biology and application of RNA interference, and welcomes proposals on the roles of non-coding RNAs in the following general areas:

* Gene regulation in animals and plants
* Non-coding RNAs in human disease
* Developmental roles of non-coding RNA
* RNA therapeutics and clinical candidates
* Non-coding RNAs as biomarkers
* Virology, host-parasite interactions and pathogenicity
* Genome-wide functional studies and drug target discovery

We also invite proposals addressing technical advances in siRNA selection, chemical manipulations, delivery and bioinformatics tools.
