We are pleased to announce the 2nd Cold Spring Harbor Asia conference on Epigenetics, Chromatin & Transcription which will be held at the Suzhou Dushu Lake Conference Center in Suzhou, China, located approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Monday April 23, and will conclude after lunch on Friday, April 27, 2012.

This conference is similar in design to the famous Cold Spring Harbor meetings series, a program now in its 76th year. The conference will include eight oral sessions and one poster session covering the latest findings across many topics in epigenetics and chromatin biology. Many talks will be selected from the openly submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance. Social events throughout the conference provide ample opportunity for informal interactions.

Major Topics:
1. Chromatin and transcription regulation
2. Chromatin domains and structure
3. DNA methylation and demethylation
4. Histone modifications
5. Nucleosome remodeling and non-coding RNAs
6. Epigenetics and stem cell reprogramming
7. New techniques and new epigenetic phenomenons
8. Epigenetics and human diseases
