15. Biophysical principles for genome organization and repair.

Invited Speaker

Recent advances in genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and biophysics have contributed to our understanding that the genome is organized hierarchically, with higher order macromolecular assemblies spanning spatial and temporal orders of magnitude. Beyond being wrapped around histones as irregular groups of “beads on a string”, chromatin is organized into topologically associated domains,...
