·         RNA Editing and RNA Interference: Interplay

·         Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Technologies

·         Disease Interrogation and Applications of RNA-Seq

·         Exploring the complexity of the Transcriptome

·         Refining expression analysis

·         Epigenetics

·         Functional Impact of Non-Coding RNA (ncRNA)

·         Cancer Genomics: Integrative and Computational Approaches

·         Expression Profiling

·         Clinical Applications and Related Disorders

·         Transcriptional Regulation and Transcriptional attenuation

·         Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics

·         Transcriptomics and Proteomics of Microorganisms

·         Transcriptomics and Proteomics of Plants

·         Transcriptome technologies market

·         New Horizons to the Transcriptome

Transcriptomics-2015 was moderated by Dr. Andrey S. Krasilnikov (Penn State University, USA) on Day-1, Dr. Yingwei Mao (Pennsylvania State University, USA) on Day-2 and Dr. Vishwanath Sollapura (Agriculture and Agri-Food, Canada) on Day-3
