Chromatin at the crossroads. Meeting on signalling to chromatin epigenetics.

Introduction In June 2006, about 90 scientists came together at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre in Hinxton (near Cambridge, UK), to attend the first European Science Foundation (ESF)–Wellcome Trust Conference on Signalling to Chromatin Epigenetics. This meeting addressed how cellular processes both signal and respond to chromatin. Chromatin is composed of nucleosomes that each comprise 147...
