8th Nucleic Acids Conference

Lisbon, Portugal

4 - 7 July 2025

DNA and RNA are built from just four nucleotide elements but rich in information content and functional diversity. DNA sequence encodes the cell’s genetic blueprint and operating system, and must be copied with unprecedented fidelity once every cell cycle. DNA is also repeatedly transcribed to RNA for protein synthesis (translation) and cellular regulation (non-coding RNA). In contrast to the relatively uniform DNA double helix, RNA assumes versatile structure and function. RNA is the worker bee of genetics to the DNA’s queen.

In the 8th nucleic acid conference, the central theme will be to understand processes involving DNA and RNA at the molecular and chemical level, with a marked structural and mechanistic perspective. We plan to have an up-to-date discussion of the following:

• DNA replication in the context of chromatin and telomere
• DNA repair and recombination
• Transcription and splicing
• RNA structure and function
• Translation and post-translation modification
•. Gene editing by ASO and CRISPR-Cas9
• AI-assisted nucleic acid research

A free registration will be drawn for an EACR member. This includes 3 nights' accommodation and daily meals.
