Neuroepigenetics and Neuroepitranscriptomics Conference 2018

Neuroepigenetics and Neuroepitranscriptomics Conference is organized by Fusion Conferences ltd and will be held during Feb 24 - 27, 2018 at Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun All Inclusive, Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Conference Description :
Epigenetic mechanisms - including DNA and histone modifications, as well as regulation by non-coding RNAs - have pivotal roles in the nervous system. The aberrant epigenetic regulation also contributes to pathogenesis in various brain disorders. There are a number of recent ground-breaking discoveries of new features of epigenetic marks and regulation that are enriched in the nervous system, leading to an emerging new field of “neuroepigenetics”. In addition, new discoveries of modification of mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs lead to a new field of “epitranscriptomics”. This meeting will bring together experts and pioneers in studying neuroepigenetics and epitranscriptomics to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of epigenetic and epitranscriptomic mechanisms in neural development, reprogramming, and cell identity, plasticity, neuronal function, and dysfunction. The meeting will offer opportunity for interdisciplinary interactions and future collaborations.

Key Sessions :
• Epigenetic mechanisms regulating brain development and stem cells
• Transcriptional and translational regulation
• Neuronal specific splicing
• Brain developmental disorders, aging and neurodegeneration
• Single-cell analysis
• Genome-wide analysis of different DNA and RNA modifications
• 3D epigenome and chromatin topology.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
