43rd International Asilomar Chromatin, Chromosomes, and Epigenetics Conference

Abstract

The 43rd Asilomar Chromatin, Chromosomes, and Epigenetics Conference was held in an entirely online format from 9 to 11 December 2021. The conference enabled presenters at various career stages to share promising new findings, and presentations covered modern chromatin research across an array of model systems. Topics ranged from the fundamental principles of nuclear organization and transcription regulation to key mechanisms underlying human disease. The meeting featured five keynote speakers from diverse backgrounds and was organized by Juan Ausió, University of Victoria (British Columbia, Canada), James Davie, University of Manitoba (Manitoba, Canada), Philippe T.
