Herbert Auer (IRB Barcelona) and Erich Grotewold (Ohio State University, USA) BARCELONA, Spain. 20-22 APRIL, 2009
Presentation
The genomic DNA sequence provides the blueprint for all cellular processes. This DNA sequence is interpreted by a large number of DNA-binding proteins, which participate in providing a specific structural landscape to the genome (e.g., histones) or in controlling which genes need to be deployed in a time- and space-specific context (e.g., transcription factors). It is of paramount biological importance to identify what the space of protein-DNA interactions is in a particular organism, the DNA-Proteome, and to describe the rules that govern them.
Providing a discussion environment and insights into novel biological concepts describing the DNA-Proteome, primarily arising from the application of cutting-edge experimental and computational technologies, is the main objective of this conference.
Organized by IRB Barcelona with the collaboration of the BBVA Foundation. Hosted by the Institut d'Estudis Catalans (IEC).
