Why You Should Attend
- Summary
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 remodeling, and
epigenetic inheritance of transcriptional silencing. The meeting
contains many talks selected from the abstracts that are interspersed
with invited speakers, discussing the latest breakthroughs in
transcriptional regulation.
- Aims of event
The conference is designed to
promote interactive discussions at both the talks and poster sessions.
Given the excellent line up of speakers and the meeting’s outstanding
reputation, this is a ‘must’ attend for anyone interested in cutting
edge research in transcription.
