"Chromosome 2015" is a continuation of the conference series in the field of chromosome biology (held 2009 and 2012) hosted by the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
In 2015, the Conference celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Chromosomal theory of heredity, which was developed by T. Morgan, A. Sturtevant, H. Muller and C. Bridges ("The Mechanism of Mendelian Heredity", 1915).

- Interphase chromosomes
- Epigenetics
- Karyotype evolution
- Chromosomal disorders
- Mitochondrial chromosomes
We are confident that the Conference will be an important scientific event, and will promote interaction and collaboration between the researchers. It will foster professional development of young scientists in Russia and advance national programs in cytogenetics, molecular and cell biology.
The Conference will feature oral and poster presentations. Duration of oral presentation is 15 minutes.
Registration information is available at the Conference webpage: http://chromosome2015.mcb.nsc.ru
