_PARATABLE_INS_WORKSHOP_PARATABLE_INSPARATABLE_INS_Integrated Approaches for Spatial and Temporal Mapping of Gene Activity in Cells and Tissues_PARATABLE_INSPARATABLE_INS_SEPTEMBER 20, 2017_PARATABLE_INSPARATABLE_INS_LOCATION: Bethesda North Marriott Hotel ( CKGE_TMP_i Salon F-G CKGE_TMP_i )_PARATABLE_INSPARATABLE_INS_PROGRAM AGENDA_PARATABLE_INS_ _PARATABLE_INS_ 1:00 Introductory statements; Rob Singer_PARATABLE_INS_ _PARATABLE_INS_ The purpose of this workshop is to introduce expertise and technology to the consortium that would be important to help achieve the 4DN goals. The workshop will focus on spatial and temporal aspects of chromatin structure that lead to activation. The goal would be to: a) identify areas of collaboration for the 4DN network, 2) identify potential areas of collaboration with other programs, 3) provide an opportunity to have a dialog between 4DN investigators and other researchers working in this field._PARATABLE_INS_ _PARATABLE_INS_ 1:05 Gary Karpen (Berkeley). “Phase transitions drive chromatin domain formation”_PARATABLE_INS_ _PARATABLE_INS_ Gary has been assessing the role of chromatin in gene activation. His recent work demonstrates that chromatin domains undergo phase transitions.

They stand as a model for how 4D DNA folding can activate transcriptional bursting ( CKGE_TMP_i Cell CKGE_TMP_i 2016, PMCID:PMC4970759)_PARATABLE_INS_ _PARATABLE_INS_ 2:30 break_PARATABLE_INS_ _PARATABLE_INS_ 3:00 Rifka Vlijm (Heidelberg) “Imaging nuclear structural changes using STED microscopy”._PARATABLE_INS_ _PARATABLE_INS_ Rifka has been working with Stefan Hell to develop dyes for superresolution STED microscopy for investigating nuclear events in living cells and embryos.

He is a leading organic chemist and responsible for generating the fluorogenic JF dyes that are now widely used for biological imaging. He is currently developing new variants that are brighter with lower phototoxicity. These dyes will eventually make it possible to image cells for longer times with less photodamage ( CKGE_TMP_i Nature Methods CKGE_TMP_i 2016, PMID:27776112)_PARATABLE_INS_ _PARATABLE_INS_ 4:00 Discussion: Joan Ritland, Job Dekker, Andy Belmont, David Gilbert, Jan Liphardt, Rob Singer and Richard Conroy_PARATABLE_INS_ _PARATABLE_INS_ The purpose of this session would be to discuss and come up with suggested Consortium activities for: 1) the temporal dynamics of nuclear architecture, 2) nuclear structure in primary cells in a 3D tissue environment._PARATABLE_INS_ _PARATABLE_INS_ 5:00 Adjourn_PARATABLE_INS_
