Note that the number of participants maybe limited, priority will be given to attendees of the cancelled in-person meeting.
The folding of chromosomes inside the cell nucleus plays an essential role in the regulation of genome functions. However, the underlying biological and physico-chemical mechanisms are still poorly understood, empeding any reliable quantitative predictions of genome organisation and activity changes when subject to perturbations or diseases. "3D Genomics" addresses such questions and now represents a booming field due to the recent development of high-resolution and high-throughput experimental approaches. Due to the inherent complexity of experimental data, this domain of biology benefits greatly from physical modelling and statistical data analyses. During the last decade, spectacular advances in the understanding of the coupling between genome structure and functions have been obtained thanks to the interaction of these different scientific disciplines. This conference aims at enhancing such interdisciplinary communication in 3D Genomics.
The School, co-organized by COST INC, CNRS and CECAM, is made of 4 sessions from Nov 23rd to Nov 26th from 3 to 6pm CET (see the detailed program).
