Conference: 17th Annual RNA Society Meeting to be held May 29-June 3, 2012; University of Michigan in Ann Arbor

智力上的功绩。RNA学会第17届年会将于2012年5月29日至6月3日在密歇根大学安娜堡分校举行。这次会议将汇聚致力于RNA生物学多个方面的科学家。将有许多会议涵盖广泛的主题，包括：RNA-蛋白质相互作用，非编码RNA，核糖体和翻译，RNA-蛋白质结构，RNA-SEQ和计算结构预测，RNA周转，相互连接和调控，核酶和核糖开关。更广泛的影响。与过去一样，会议将包括旨在吸引学生和博士后的特别活动。发言者名单多种多样，其中包括许多初级科学家。会议的形式(简短的演讲、研讨会和海报会议)为分享最新研究成果和建立对科学成功至关重要的专业网络提供了一个极好的机会。

Intellectual Merit. The 17th Annual Meeting of the RNA Society will be held May 29-June 3, 2012 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The meeting will bring together scientists working on many aspects of RNA biology. There will be numerous sessions covering a broad range of topics including: RNA-protein interactions, non-coding RNAs, ribosomes and translation, RNA-protein architecture, RNA-seq and computational structure prediction, RNA turnover, interconnections and regulation, ribozymes and riboswitches. Broader Impacts. As in the past, the meeting will include special events aimed at engaging students and postdocs. The roster of speakers is diverse and includes many junior scientists. The format of the meeting (short talks, workshops and poster sessions) offers an excellent opportunity for sharing latest research findings and for building the kinds of professional networks that are so crucial to scientific success.
