Chromatin Architecture and Chromosome Organization (X5) joint with the meeting on Gene Control in Development and Disease (X6) is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and will be held during Mar 23 - 27, 2018 at Whistler Conference Centre, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada.
Conference description :
This meeting will bring together some of the world’s leading experts and emerging talents at the interface of these topics to explore chromosome architecture and its dynamic relationship with genome function.
Specifically, it will explore :
• Chromatin structure and how this relates to gene expression and genome functions such as DNA replication and repair
• Chromosome conformation and the new insights into genome organization that have emerged using new technologies
• The nature of the chromatin partners (proteins, RNAs) that underlie chromatin folding and functions and their dynamic relationships in different contexts (cell cycle, development, environmentally induced changes, etc.
• Emerging imaging technologies and microscopy and the answers they are bringing to the dynamics of chromatin and chromosome architecture
• New physical and mathematical modeling approaches to further our understanding of the principles governing chromatin architecture.
Additional Details will be posted as soon as they are available
