Long-Range Genome Organization and Transcription Dynamics
Long-range interactions between genomic sites such as enhancers and promoters constitute a major node of regulation in gene expression and development. Recent technology developments make it possible to probe these interactions from the single molecule level to genome-wide landscapes. The goal of this meeting was to gather leaders in fields relevant to imaging enhancers and transcription dynamics. Together, these approaches can provide the foundation for a quantitative description of how long-range genomic interactions occur and how they regulate gene expression over time.
