Second DNA metabolism cluster meeting

The DNA metabolism cluster is an informal network of five EU-funded thematic networks centering around one theme, DNA metabolism. The networks coordinators have organised this cluster to stimulate exchange of information among networks and the interested public. The meeting, taking place in Amsterdam on the 23rd September 2003, was organised to support this initiative.
