The Epigenome: Mechanisms of Maintenance
30th June 2017 - University of Warwick
Warwick-Wellcome Quantitative Biomedicine
Programme
We were pleased to hold the 3rd Warwick-Wellcome Quantitative Biomedicine Programme's symposium on recent advances in the fields of epigenetics and cell fate. The symposium was a one day event that brought together scientists working on a broad range of epigenetic systems to discuss quantitative models of inheritance at the molecular, cellular and organismal level.
Topics spanned the inheritance of chromatin states in single celled eukaryotes, mechanisms of trans-generational inheritance in metazoans, chromatin structure, DNA and histone modification, transcriptional programmes, gene imprinting and current technological advances in epigenomic tools.
It proved to be an exciting symposium for both experts in the field and for novices who were interested in the current state-of-the-art in epigenetics
