Multiscale Modeling of Chromatin: Bridging Experiment with Theory

This meeting brought together biologists, chemists, physicists, and mathematicians to discuss and launch collaborations to advance the field of chromatin modeling and applications through new conceptual approaches and perspectives.

The meeting emphasized the unique multiscale features and properties of chromatin, from DNA to nuclear organization and interactions, and encouraged/enhanced the development of multiscale models and experimental strategies needed to address all relevant components of the chromatin folding problem. Such multiscale approaches, combining experimental data and modeling/informatics, are necessary to extract and identify structure/function relationships on various scales, from individual base pairs to whole genomes, and to pursue important applications in epigenetics and medicine.
