Description
 
The Chromatin and Transcriptional Regulation conference will bring together several leaders in the field to discuss the current state of the art. The meeting will bring together experimentalists and computational biologists and will deal with questions such as what determines nucleosome positioning and higher order chromatin structure, how dynamic is the nucleosome organization across biological conditions and cell types, and what are the functional implications of the nucleosome organization for transcription and DNA replication.
