2SBP Higher-order structural fluctuations in the genome and their functions

Wed. Nov 15, 2023 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM Room B (Exhibition Room 212 (Bldg. 2, 1F))

Organizers: Ochiai Hiroshi (Kyushu Univ.)、Shinkai Soya (RIKEN)

Genomic DNA contains the information necessary for the development and maintenance of living organisms, and forms cell-type-specific higher-order structures while exhibiting dynamic behavior. Recent studies, which employ live-cell imaging and mathematical and physical simulations, have revealed that these fluctuations in higher-order genomic structure play biological roles. In this symposium, experts in the field will present their latest research findings and discuss the functions of fluctuations in higher-order genomic structures.
