Summary of Meeting:
DNA replication is a fundamental process for all cells and as such is subject to exquisite cell cycle control and integration with other key cellular processes. In particular, faithful genome duplication is critically dependent on homologous recombination, which serves to protect stalled replication forks and to facilitate restart of DNA synthesis following replication fork stalling/collapse. Failure to execute replication, repair or recombination effectively is a major source of genome instability in cells, which lies at the heart of cancer and aging in humans. Although recent advances have improved our understanding of a number of the key steps and transactions that govern DNA replication and recombination, our knowledge of the pathways that coordinate replication and repair remains incomplete. Given the intimate relationship between DNA replication and recombination and their importance for genome stability, this meeting will be held jointly with the Keystone Symposia meeting on 'Genomic Stability and DNA Repair.' These concurrent meetings will provide a unique forum for interdisciplinary discussions by bringing together leading experts in these areas with a shared keynote address and two joint plenary sessions. Joint sessions will be interspersed with specific topic sessions, workshops and poster sessions that have been selected to highlight the latest advances in our understanding of the mechanisms governing DNA replication and recombination, the emerging interconnections between these fields, the various multidisciplinary approaches that are currently driving the field forward and the challenges that remain to be investigated.

Workshop 1: DNA Repair and Genome Editing
This session is from Genomic Instability/DNA Repair
Room: Sea to Sky C
The aim of this workshop is to cross-fertilize the fields of genome editing and DNA double-strand break repair. Indeed, genome editing harnesses the property of designer nucleases to generate breaks that are either mis-repaired (by canonical or alternative end-joining pathways) or that serve as substrate for homology-dependent repair. Conversely, genome editing nucleases can be used as tools to study the repair and response to DNA double-strand breaks. Furthermore, by their ability to label specific genomic loci, genome editing techniques enable dynamic imaging of repair processes directly in living cells with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. By fostering interaction between these two fields, we hope to improve the efficiency and applicability of genome editing applications based on a better understanding of DNA double-strand break repair.
