The workshop will take place in Leiden, Netherlands, from June 17 to 20, 2024.
Deadline for the registration: April 1, 2024.
More than 24 international speakers will cover the following topics:
(i) DNA repair in nuclear/chromatin domains,
(ii) histone modifications following damage: writers, reader, erasers,
(iii) nucleosome modification following DNA damage (remodellers, chaperones and histone variants),
(iv) replication stress and endogenous damage,
(v) transcription and RNA in DNA repair,
(vi) chromatin movement and physical constraints.

New review: X chromosome regulation and female functional specificities: Are two Xs better than one?
What if the presence of two X chromosomes confers functional specificities on female cells and contributes to the different susceptibilites of men and women to certain diseases? One of the X chromosomes is randomly silenced in each female cell from the embryonic...
