Chairpersons:Ken Cho(UC Irvine), Ichiro Hiratani(RIKEN BDR)
The earliest phases of embryogenesis represent a period of major transitions and various lineage specification processes. These stages provide valuable insights into the regulation of chromatin and gene expression dynamics. Recent advancements in genomic tools, including low-input/single-cell multi-omics and high-resolution live-imaging technologies are accelerating the pace of new discoveries in this field. In this symposium, we will highlight researchers who are exploring the dynamic changes in chromatin and gene expression, and their underlying mechanisms during early embryogenesis. These studies encompass diverse organisms and utilize cutting-edge technologies, ranging from single-cell genomics to live imaging.
