Genetic Recombination and Genome Rearrangements

This long-running conference will explore the latest discoveries in recombination, a fundamental DNA repair process that plays essential roles in the replication, maintenance, evolution, and transmission of the genome. As the sole meeting dedicated to this specific field of research, presentations will focus on mechanisms of homologous recombination in various cellular contexts, genome instability, and links between recombination and human disease, especially aging and cancer.
