International Symposium “Clues to Non-coding RNA Taxonomy”

We are pleased to announce an International Symposium entitled “Clues to Non-coding RNA Taxonomy” to be held on June 27, 2016, in conjunction with Tokyo RNA Club the 20th Meeting. This symposium aims to gather newest knowledge on long and small non-coding RNAs. It will provide future research directions for discovering the function and mechanism of diverse non-coding RNA molecules, which will eventually allow us to establish their systematic classification termed non-coding RNA taxonomy.
