    This document provides an agenda for a conference on mechanisms of gene transcription taking place on February 9th-10th, 2007. The conference consists of seven sessions covering various topics related to transcriptional regulation, including the structure and function of transcription complexes, transcriptional control of mitochondrial metabolism and its relevance to disease, identifying gene interaction networks in tumor cells, and dissecting chromatin modification mechanisms. Speakers will present on research investigating transcriptional deregulation in cancer, tissue- and gene-specific transcription, and other topics related to controlling gene expression. Poster sessions and social events are also included in the schedule.
