The Biology and Physics of Prokaryotic Chromosomes is an international conference that brings together experimental and theoretical scientists to explore the structure and function of prokaryotic chromosomes.
The event highlights advances in chromosome organisation, replication, transcription, and segregation, studied across various scales through both lab-based and computational methods. It aims to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and spark new ideas. Over the past fifteen years, technologies like super-resolution microscopy, genome-wide proximity mapping, and polymer physics modelling have transformed our understanding of chromosome biology. This meeting in York offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and connect with leading experts in the field.
