Design (and) principles of nuclear dynamics in Stockholm

The structural organization of the nucleus and its content has drawn increasing interest in recent years, as it is has become evident that the spatial and temporal arrangement of the genome and associated structures plays a crucial role in transcriptional regulation and numerous other functions. Shining light on the dynamic nature of this organization, along with the processes controlling it, were the topics of the Wenner-Gren Foundations international symposium “Nuclear Dynamics: Design (and) Principles.” The meeting, organized by Piorgiogio Percipalle, Maria Vartiainen, Neus Visa, and Ann- Kristin Östlund-Farrants, brought over 60 participants, including 20 international speakers, to Stockholm, Sweden from August 19–22, 2015 to share the latest developments in the field. Given the unpublished nature of many of the talks, we have focused on covering the discussed topics and highlighting the latest trends in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
