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

知识价值。第17届RNA学会年会将于2012年5月29日至6月3日在安娜堡的密歇根大学举行。这次会议将汇集研究RNA生物学许多方面的科学家。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序列和计算结构预测，RNA周转，相互连接和调控，核酶和核开关。更广泛的影响。与以往一样，会议将包括旨在吸引学生和博士后参与的特别活动。演讲者的名单是多样化的，包括许多年轻的科学家。会议的形式（简短的谈话、研讨会和海报会议）为分享最新的研究成果和建立对科学成功至关重要的各种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.
