Welcome to RNAi2009

The 4th Annual Oxford RNAi Conference, RNAi2009, will address most aspects of biology and application of RNA interference, and welcomes proposals on the roles of non-coding RNAs in the following general areas:

• Gene regulation in animals and plants
• Non-coding RNAs in human disease
• Developmental roles of non-coding RNA
• RNA therapeutics and clinical candidates
• Non-coding RNAs as biomarkers
• Virology, host-parasite interactions and pathogenicity
• Genome-wide functional studies and drug target discovery

We also invite proposals addressing technical advances in siRNA selection, chemical manipulations, delivery and bioinformatics tools.
