In plant and animal cells, the genetic code (DNA) resides protected in the nucleus, an internal compartment of the cell. Genes are expressed when messenger RNAs (mRNA) are copied or transcribed off the DNA code. The mRNAs then leave the nucleus to be translated into proteins at protein factories called ribosomes. On the way, these messages undergo a considerable amount of processing, in which internal sequences are edited out in a process called splicing and the ends of the message become chemically modified. This international conference is intended to be a forum for discussion of the latest research in the field. This conference is notable because the majority of talks are selected from openly submitted abstracts giving ample opportunity for broad and diverse representation of junior scientists including graduate students to present their latest research. National Science Foundation funding will primarily be used to support junior scientists and members of under-represented constituencies within the field who would otherwise not be able to attend.

在植物和动物细胞中，遗传密码（DNA）保存在细胞核中，细胞核是细胞的一个内部隔间。当信使rna （mRNA）从DNA代码中复制或转录时，基因就会表达出来。然后mrna离开细胞核，在称为核糖体的蛋白质工厂中被翻译成蛋白质。在此过程中，这些信息经历了相当多的处理，其中内部序列在一个称为剪接的过程中被编辑掉，信息的末端被化学修饰。这次国际会议旨在成为讨论该领域最新研究成果的论坛。这次会议之所以引人注目，是因为大多数的演讲都是从公开提交的摘要中挑选出来的，这为包括研究生在内的年轻科学家提供了广泛而多样的机会来展示他们的最新研究。国家科学基金会的资金将主要用于支持年轻科学家和该领域内代表性不足的成员，否则他们将无法参加。
