This EMBO Conference will cover chromosome structure and organization, epigenetic modifications, chromatin remodelling and reprogramming, silent chromatin, genome stability and telomere biology, replication and repair, nuclear RNA, systems biology of genome functions and nuclear compartments. This is the seventh meeting of a series of conferences that takes place every two years.
Special emphasis will be given on epigenetics and genomic regulation of nuclear structure and function. We invite interdisciplinary contributions including molecular, genetics and cell biology techniques applied to a wide range of organisms, as well as biophysics and mathematical modelling approaches. The programme will include invited talks, selected talks and ample time for poster presentation and discussions.
