Below is a manually curated list of meetings relevant to quantitative gene regulation, focused on chromatin biophysics and epigenetics. Complementary manually curated lists of conferences are available at the web sites of EpiCypher and Active Motif (chromatin and epigenetics), the Node (developmental biology), Steve Jackson (DNA damage/repair) and Nature Aging. For more general conference lists see EMBL Conferences and Events, FEBS Conference calendar, Keystone Symposia, Gordon Research Conferences and CSHL Meetings. We also maintain a separate list of funders providing conference travel grants. Please feel free to to suggest your events for inclusion in this database by emailing [email protected].
