Welcome

The 11th annual meeting of the RNA Society will take place in Seattle on the University of Washington campus from June 20 through 25, 2006. The meeting is open to all whose work touches on the field of RNA research. The RNA Society is a multidisciplinary society, and includes all aspects of molecular, evolutionary and structural biology, biochemistry, chemistry, biomedical sciences, genetics, and virology that involve the structure and function of RNA and ribonucleoprotein assemblies. We invite you to join us!

Deadlines/Dates for RNA 2006

The deadline for registration and submission of abstracts was Monday, March 20, 2006.

Final Conference Schedule and Searchable Abstract Site

The final Conference Schedule and a searchable RNA 2006 abstract site are now available. Note that some registrants chose not to post their abstracts, and others to list only the title.

Poster Guidelines

RNA 2006 has sufficient room so that all posters can remain mounted for all three evening poster sessions. The first night will be unstaffed for scouting; even numbered posters will be staffed on the second night, and odd numbered posters on the third night. The posters can be mounted any time after noon on Wednesday June 21 and must be taken down after the Friday June 23 poster session. The poster board dimensions are 4 feet (1.3 meters) high by 4 feet (1.3 meters) wide.
