Imaging Transcription in Living Cells: A Systems and Computational Approach
Genes are transcribed within an organized nucleoplasm where their function and three-dimensional environment interact. At the frontier between molecular and cell biology, biophysics and mathematics, this meeting will cover recent advances enabling measurement of transcriptional activity within living cells and providing new insights into transcription mechanisms.
