编者按：冷泉港亚洲(The Cold Spring Harbor Asia Conferences，缩写CSHA)沿袭美国冷泉港实验室的传统，为来自亚洲乃至全球的科学家及学生们，提供近距离分享最新科研进展的独特平台。在冷泉港亚洲，与会者不论地位、年龄、国籍、性别、种族，都将于会议全程得到平等自由的交流机会。冷泉港亚洲会议的最大特色，就是大部分在会议上发表的演讲，选择自全体与会者公开提交的摘要中(年会除外)，报告涵盖了大量未发表的最新科研进展。

iNature：这一次大会邀请到了RNA修饰领域的大牛，曹雪涛院士，陈雪梅（microRNA大牛，美国科学院院士），何川（RNA修饰领域的绝对大牛，尤其是m6A方面），刘默芳，戚益军，杨力，杨运桂，尹成器等人。iNature小编有幸参与这样的大会，持续为大家奉献上科研盛会。
