"InteRNAt" summer school on small regulatory RNAs (microRNA, siRNA, piRNA)

Small regulatory RNAs (miRNAs, siRNAs, and piRNAs) have attracted a lot of attention over the past two decades. The use of siRNAs for experimental gene repression by RNA interference, the apparent low specificity of miRNAs (each appears to repress hundreds of target genes, implying that miRNAs collectively participate in the control of all physiological processes in Animals), and the numerous regulatory roles proposed for piRNAs, probably explain the great interest in them by the scientific community.

Inevitably, among the deluge of publications devoted to these small RNAs, some contradict others without mentioning it; it becomes difficult, for the non-specialist, to get a real idea of the state of a field to which dozens of scientific articles are devoted every day. The combination of semantic difficulties and the volume of existing publications on the subject create a real barrier to enter this scientific field, which we feel is important to lower by offering participants a clear and synthetic vision of the state of the art on the subject. The aim of this CNRS thematic school is to take stock of established knowledge, to mention current controversies, to give all the objective elements on past controversies, to clear up ambiguities of nomenclature and vocabulary, so as to give participants the knowledge to understand the literature of the field.

Like all CNRS thematic schools, InteRNAt offers high-level training for the scientific community (regular researchers, post-doctoral fellows, etc.). It is open primarily to CNRS employees, but also, within the limits of available places, to employees of other organizations, students, private companies, etc. Unlike a conventional conference, the lectures given at a thematic school constitute a coherent, progressive whole, a real teaching that must be followed in its entirety by the participants. In addition to the lectures, workshops will involve a certain amount of interactivity with the participants, and, on the margins, more informal exchanges favored by the residential format.

If the number of pre-registered participants exceeds the maximum number (currently set at 40), the scientific and organization committees will select, among the pre-registered participants, those who will be able to register definitively.

Pre-registration is open from March 31, 2023 to July 13, 2023.


Note: for CNRS employees, the registration fees are paid directly by CNRS.

Ciliate Molecular Biology Meeting 2023
The main objective of the Ciliate Molecular Biology Meeting 2023 is to bring together international established, junior and developing researchers that use different ciliate biological models to approach biological questions and applications. The meeting will provide a stimulating, diverse and multidisciplinary program, and a forum for open discussions of exciting advances and future directions. Topics will cover both well-established and ground-breaking work, including chromatin modifications/remodeling, epigenetic inheritance, programmed DNA rearrangements, non-coding RNAs, genome evolution, membrane biology and signaling, cilia/cytoskeleton dynamics and morphogenesis/development. Related disciplines being explored in increasing detail with molecular and genomic approaches, namely the biodiversity and ecology of ciliates, and their bacterial symbionts will also be included. To draw students into scientific careers and showcase ciliates as extraordinary biological models, a session dedicated to using ciliates in undergraduate research and classroom laboratories will also take place.
