Abstract

The Fourth Elmau Conference on Nuclear Organization (information, abstracts, and list with addresses of speakers at http://www. nucleararchitecture.com /) took place in Gosau, Austria, between 12 and 15 October 2006. The workshop was organized by Dean Jackson, Roel van Driel, Hans Lipps and Hans Westerhoff, and was sponsored by ABCAM, Boehringer, EMBO, and VWR. It was mainly divided into two topics: dynamic analysis of gene activation and expression, and structure and dynamics of chromatin fibres, nuclear space and epigenetics. A particular emphasis was given this time to systems biology approaches, which drove the 40 participants to extensive discussions and highly interdisciplinary scientific exchanges. Some of the concepts discussed are presented here.
