Fission yeast meets a legend in Kobe: report of the Eighth International Fission Yeast Meeting

Abstract

The Eighth International Fission Yeast Meeting, which was held at Ikuta Shrine Hall in Kobe, Japan, from 21 to 26 June 2015, was attended by 327 fission yeast researchers from 25 countries (190 overseas and 137 domestic participants). At this meeting, 124 talks were held and 145 posters were presented. In addition, newly developed database tools were introduced to the community during a workshop. Researchers shared cutting‐edge knowledge across broad fields of study, ranging from molecules to evolution, derived from the superior model organism commonly used within the fission yeast community. Intensive discussions and constructive suggestions generated in this meeting will surely advance the understanding of complex biological systems in fission yeast, extending to general eukaryotes.

The joy of the 11th International Fission Yeast Meeting in Hiroshima (POMBE2023 Hiroshima) after a long wait due to the COVID‐19 pandemic

“…The 11th International Fission Yeast Meeting (POMBE2023 Hiroshima) was supported by grants from the International Meeting Support Program by the Molecular Biology Society of Japan (MBSJ). In the past, the MBSJ supported the 8th International Fission Yeast Meeting held in Kobe in 2015 (Asakawa et al, 2015). The authors genuinely appreciate the MBSJ for their continued support.…”
