Chromatin
Structure and Dynamics of Chromatin
August 3 - 4, 2011 From beads on a string to the pearls of regulation: the structure and dynamics of chromatin
Cambridge, UK Further information
A joint Biochemical Society / Wellcome Trust conference. The meeting will present advances in our understanding of chromatin structure and organization and the impact of these findings on our understanding of biological function. The meeting will bring together experts in the field to present recent advances in structural models for chromatin and the role of accessory factors that regulate its organization. Topics to be covered will include the structure of the nucleosome core particle and the consequences resulting from histone modification and inclusion of histone variants, the analysis of nucleosome positioning in vivo and DNA sequence periodicities that influence location. Wider perspectives to be addressed include the relationship of chromatin and DNA repair, the role of high mobility group proteins and linker histones in chromatin organisation and function, and models for hierarchical assembly of chromatin. The meeting will mark the retirement of Professor Jean Thomas, who has made major contributions to the field.

Conference: Transcription and Chromatin
Category: Molecular Biology Conference
August 28 - 30, 2010 Transcription and Chromatin
Heidelberg, Germany Further information
9th EMBL Conference. Transcription and Chromatin. EMBL Courses and Conferences. Understanding the complexity and functional composition of cellular and synaptic networks in the nervous system is a major challenge in neurobiology. Genes and molecules impact directly the assembly, function, and plasticity of specific neural circuits, and recent studies in different model systems start to elucidate the functionality of neuronal connectomes as an higher organisational entity required for the generation of complex behaviours. The goal of this Symposium is to highlight recent work on the anatomical and functional analysis of behaviourally-relevant neural circuits in genetically tractable model systems, and to promote the exchange of ideas and methods in this exciting field of research.
