For decades after its discovery, genomic DNA was believed to exist only as a right-handed, double helix known as B-DNA.  Its sole functions were to serve as a template for RNA synthesis or as a template for the production of identical duplexes during chromosome replication.  These core beliefs were shaken by the discovery that DNA [...]

The EMBL Transcription and Chromatin meeting has a long-standing tradition in shaping the field of transcriptional regulation. The meeting brings together leading experts covering all aspects of transcription from cis-regulatory function, long range regulation, 3-dimensional looping, the basal transcriptional machinery, RNA polymerase regulation and function, nucleosome positioning, chromatin modifications, chromatin remodelling, and epigenetic inheritance of [...]

The meeting is aimed at bringing in students and postdocs as well as faculty involved in RNA modification and epitranscriptome research.  In addition to talks, there will be a poster session and reception. Topics M6A mRNA methylation Biological functions of m6A RNA methylation Dynamic RNA modifications ​

The 2nd Annual Epigenetics Discovery Congress taking place on 8-9 September, 2016 in London – UK will gather researchers, academics and industry professionals working in epigenetic research to avail an opportunity to explore the potential of epigenetics. The congress will contribute towards novel and existing therapeutics, current progress and trends in the inclusion of epigenetics [...]

You are cordially invited to participate in the third Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory meeting on Epigenetics & Chromatin. The opening session will begin at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, September 13 and the meeting will end after lunch on Saturday, September 17, 2016. As currently planned, the program will have eight sessions devoted to oral presentations, together with three [...]

Building on the success of previous single cell genomics meetings, this year’s meeting will be held at the Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, UK. Single cell genomics is rapidly emerging as a revolutionary technology transforming many fields of biological research, including immunology and cancer. Through its many applications (e.g. single cell genome sequencing, single cell transcriptomics, [...]

This 16th Genome Informatics conference will focus on large-scale approaches to understanding the structure and biology of genomes. Biology is an experimental science that is experiencing an explosion of new data. This requires biologists to increase the scale and sophistication of the information technology used for their research. The conference scope encompasses a wide range [...]

This event will be free of charge for all attendees but early registration is required. Space is limited so early registration is recommended. Registration will close 1 September 2016. Epigenetics and Chromatin are playing fundamental roles in the development of organisms as well as the development of pathologies, such as cancer. This series of meetings will [...]

The fourth meeting in the Chromatin Replication series will explore new ideas on the interplay between chromosome organization, epigenetic inheritance and genome duplication. Topics ​Mechanisms of DNA replication How to replicate chromosomes Cell division and epigenetic plasticity Epigenome inheritance and reprogramming The epigenetic framework guides events like replication, repair and transcription, which in turn themselves leave an imprint [...]

The 6th Epigenomics of Common Diseases conference will bring together leading scientists from the fields of epigenomics, genetics and bioinformatics to discuss the latest developments in this fast-moving area. Epigenetic variation plays an important role in disease processes and provides a promising focus for disease prediction, prevention and treatment. Technological advancements in the past few [...]

Present, learn and collaborate! Present your work and find out the latest news. Topics Coding and non-coding functions of the genome Chromatin structure in stem cells Genome architecture and human disease Description Stem cells have the unique properties of both self renewal and differentiation into various lineages. In the last few years, chromatin architecture and [...]

With the 1st Max Planck Freiburg Epigenetics Meeting in 2010, we celebrated the establishment of the epigenetic focus at our institute and launched a biennial conference series on epigenetics. We are committed to create an exceptional environment for epigenetic research in Freiburg and we would be very happy if you contributed by sharing your exciting [...]
