Welcome

The Scottish Chromatin Group have held bi-annual meetings in either Edinburgh, Glasgow or Dundee since 2006. The one day meetings bring together researchers from across Scotland to discuss common interests in chromatin and chromosome structure and function.

Contact the organisers Nick Gilbert (Edinburgh) and Adam West (Glasgow) for details about these meetings.
