Green chromatin dynamics in Zurich: meeting summary based on the European Workshop on Plant Chromatin 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland.
In September 2009, the 1(st) European Workshop on Plant Chromatin took place in Zurich, Switzerland. The workshop covered a variety of chromatin related topics, including the mechanisms of Polycomb group protein function, long-range interactions of regulatory elements, genome-wide reconfiguration of epigenetic marks during gametogenesis and protection of chromosomal ends by epigenetic marks. Some of the highlights of this meeting are summarized in this report.
