Special Guest Talk by:

Title of the talk:

RNA stabilization and modifications in hyperthermophilic archaea

Analyses of the RNA metabolism of hyperthermophilic archaea highlight   the efficiency of regulatory RNAs and RNA-guided processes at extreme   temperatures. Hyperthermophilic organisms must overcome the intrinsic thermolability of RNAs. Elevated levels of RNA modifications and   structured GC-rich regions are observed for many universal noncoding RNA families. Here, I will present our analyses of tRNA and rRNA  modifications and discuss RNA-seq approaches to determine RNA  
structures and termini.

All are kindly welcome!
