Epigenetics, Chromatin & Transcription

Cold Spring Harbor Asia Conferences, Suzhou, China
May 17 - 21, 2010

This conference is similar in design to the famous Cold Spring Harbor meetings series,  a program now in its 75th year. The conference will include eight oral sessions and two poster sessions covering the latest findings across many topics in epigenetics and chromatin biology. The majority of the talks will be given by invited speakers but some talks will be chosen from openly submitted abstracts. Social events throughout the conference provide ample opportunity for informal interactions.

Topics
Histone and DNA modifications;
Nucleosome remodeling and non-coding RNAs;
Long-range chromatin interaction and chromatin domains;
Epigenetic modifications in development, differentiation,
and diseases;
Global approaches to chromatin and transcription;
Structural and functional relationship for epigenetic factors and chromatin;
New techniques and new epigenetic phenomenons
