[2AS-02]【E】Deciphering the epicode of chromatin controling cell fate decisions

Thu. Dec 4, 2025 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM JST
Thu. Dec 4, 2025 12:00 AM - 2:00 AM UTC
Room 2(Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center 3F, 301)
Organizer: Makoto Tachibana (The University of Osaka), Jun-ichi Nakayama (Natonal Institute for Basic Biology)
Chromatin plays a key role in the regulation of gene expression. However, it is unclear how gene expression during development and differentiation is regulated through chromatin structure to determine the cell fate. A higher-order chromatin structure organized by multiple regulatory layers in specific cell types can be an acquired code, or “epicode”. We are aiming to reveal how epicode is established and defines the cell fate.
