The Cech Symposium: a celebration of 25 years of ribozymes, 10 years of TERT, and 60 years of Tom.
The Cech Symposium was held in Boulder, Colorado, on July 12-13, 2007, to celebrate a triple anniversary: 25 years since the first publication reporting RNA self-splicing, 10 years since the identification of reverse transcriptase motifs in the catalytic subunit of telomerase, and 60 years since the birth of Thomas R. Cech. Past and present members of the Cech laboratory presented on their current research, which branched into many categories of study including RNA-mediated catalysis, telomerase and telomeres, new frontiers in nucleic acids, alternative splicing, as well as scientific research with direct medical applications.
