Jacques Monod - Roscoff, France - Mechanistic and evolutionary basis of programmed DNA elimination -21-25 September 2026 The Jacques Monod Conference "Mechanistic and evolutionary basis of programmed DNA elimination" will be held from Monday September 21 to Friday 25, 2026 in Roscoff, France. It aims to bring together researchers working on DNA elimination as well as other unusual chromosome biology across the tree of eukaryotes. We would be very keen to include researchers working on related phenomena, such as drive and conflict, B chromosomes, and on the mechanisms and regulation of genome stability, chromosome segregation and germline development. Registration is open until May 20, 2026. Available slots for selected talks. Prices for poster and oral presentations from early career researchers. https://cjm.sb-roscoff.fr/en/conference/mechanistic-and-evolutionary-basis-programmed-dna-elimination Registration cost includes food and accommodation. Reduced rates for students. Also Roscoff is a fantastic place to visit and has great facilities (and food).
