SUMMARY:Conférence Jacques Monod - The mechanistic and evolutionary basis of programmed DNA elimination
DESCRIPTION:The Conférence Jacques Monod  » The mechanistic and evolutionary basis of programmed DNA elimination » will take place from Monday\, September 21\, 2026toFriday\, September 25\, 2026 in Roscoff (Bretagne\, France). \n\n\n\n\nAbstracts submission deadline : Tuesday\, May 5\, 2026\n\n\nDeadline for payment of registration fees : July 2\, 2026\n\n\nDeadline for return of completed forms : July 2\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration and abstract submission website  \n\n\n\nBeyond mutations\, the genetic content of an organism is generally constant across cells throughout development. Programmed DNA elimination (PDE) – a process in which specific cell lineages lose DNA segments or whole chromosomes – represents is a striking deviation to this principle. \n\nPDE is widespread in eukaryotes and plays roles in a variety of cellular processes\, including gene silencing\, germline differentiation\, genome defence\, and non-Mendelian inheritance. It manifests in diverse biological contexts\, including the formation of germline-limited genomes\, meiotic elimination of parental chromosomes\, and sex determination via X-chromosome loss. \nIn recent years\, it has become increasingly clear that PDE occurs across a wide range of phylogenetic groups\, and involves diverse mechanisms.  These findings underscore the overlooked plasticity of genome integrity\, and reveal significant gaps in our understanding of why PDE has evolved repeatedly and is maintained across the Tree of Life. \nThis conference is designed to present the latest research on the mechanisms and evolution of PDE – from the molecular pathways that control genome stability and chromosome segregation\, to genomic conflicts and the long-term evolutionary consequences of PDE on population dynamics and species diversification. We also welcome researchers studying related phenomena\, such as meiotic drive\, B chromosomes\, and those that work on the mechanisms and regulation of genome stability\, chromosome segregation and germline development. \nThe meeting will address the following key topics: \n\n Mechanisms and regulation of genome stability and instability\nMechanisms of chromosome segregation and missegregation\nGenomic conflicts\nEvolutionary dynamics of programmed DNA elimination
