August 5 and 6 at the Science Park, St. Petersburg State University, in order to promote international cooperation and exchange of experience in the field of molecular biology and fundamental biomedical hosted an international scientific seminar "Functions of short non-coding RNAs in eukaryotes and prokaryotes."
The seminar was opened by Professor Helen welcome speech Romanovna Gaginskoy and Foreword by Academician RAS Vladimir A. Gvozdeva.
On the first day of the following reports were made:
- Vladimir Alekskeevich Gvozdeff. Introduction: piRNA silencing (Institute of Molecular Genetics RAS, Moscow);
- Mikiko Siomi. piRNA biogenesis in insect germline (Keio University, Tokyo, Japan);
- Kaoru Sato. Distinctive functions of Maelstrom in the piRNA pathway in the germline and ovarian somatic cells (Keio University, Tokyo, Japan).
- Kuniaki Saito. Epigenetic roles of Piwi-piRNA complex in transposon silencing (Keio University, Tokyo, Japan);
- Michael A. Klenov. Function of piRNA system in germline differentiation (Institute of Molecular Genetics RAS, Moscow);
- Naomi Seki. Analysis of PIWI-piRNA pathways in primates (Keio University, Tokyo, Japan);
- Alexei Alekskeevich Aravin. Small RNAs fighting genome invaders: from bacteria to mammals (Institute of Molecular Genetics RAS, Moscow; California Institute of Technology, USA).
On the second day of the workshop was a presentation of equipment and research opportunities RC "Center for collective use of equipment - Hromas" Science Park and the St. Petersburg State University summed up the two-day event.
