Abstract:
The International Asilomar Chromatin, Chromosomes, and Epigenetics Conference was held online from 8 to 10 December 2022. Topics of this year's conference included chromosome dysregulation, genome integrity, nuclear organization, regulation of chromatin, epigenetics, transcription, and gene regulation in cell differentiation and disease. The meeting featured four keynote speakers, including Yamini Dalal (National Cancer Institute, USA), Meaghan Jones (University of Manitoba, Canada), Pedro Rocha (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, USA), and Vincent Pasque (University of Leuven, Belgium). The meeting brought together scientists at all career stages to present and discuss their work in the fields of chromatin and epigenetics.
