Meeting report: genome engineering, plant genetics and young scientist forum

Young Scientist Forum

A plant Photosystem I (PSI) is a large membrane super-complex that drives photosynthesis. PSI captures sunlight through sophisticated pigment network and uses the energy to perform transmembrane electron transfer. It consists of the reaction center complex (RC), where the charge separation reaction takes place and the light harvesting complex (LHCI), which serves as an additional antenna system...

Meeting Report: The Allied Genetics Conference 2016

The mission of the Genetics Society of America (GSA) is to deepen our understanding of the living world by advancing the field of genetics. A cornerstone of this mission is promoting interaction among geneticists. To foster such connections and collaborations across the field, the GSA brought together seven research communities for The Allied quantitative genetics. In addition to community-spec...

Meeting Report The First Tianjin, China Forum on Tumor Microenvironment

Although it is well recognized that the tumor microenvironment plays a key role in regulating tumor progression, the mechanisms through which this occurs need to be defined. Current international research activities toward defining the role of the tumor microenvironment in cancer progression were the subject of the first Tianjin Forum on Tumor Microenvironment held at Nankai University in Tianj...
