Over 400 scientists from 38 countries gathered in the marvelous city of Heidelberg, Germany to attend the 10th EMBL Conference on Transcription and Chromatin. Surrounded by dark-green forest and overlooking a historic city, the charming environment of the EMBL as well as an all-star lineup of presenters attracted scientists from all over the world to discuss the latest findings and the future directions in the field. Superbly organized by Henk Stunnenberg, Eileen Furlong, Ali Shilatifard and Marc Timmers, the main topics of the conference included DNA, RNA and histone modifications, pluripotency and cellular reprogramming, transcriptional regulation, as well as chromatin dynamics and the effect of chromatin on gene regulation. In a pleasant summer climate that facilitated a stimulating and collaborative atmosphere, over 50 outstanding talks and more than 200 posters were presented. I apologize in advance to those speakers whose excellent work I have been unable to include in this report due to space constraints.
来自 38 个国家的 400 多名科学家齐聚德国海德堡这座美丽的城市，参加第 10 届 EMBL 转录和染色质会议。EMBL 迷人的环境以及全明星阵容的演讲者环绕着深绿色的森林，俯瞰着一座历史名城，吸引了来自世界各地的科学家来讨论该领域的最新发现和未来方向。会议由 Henk Stunnenberg、Eileen Furlong、Ali Shilatifard 和 Marc Timmers 出色地组织，会议的主要议题包括 DNA、RNA 和组蛋白修饰、多能性和细胞重编程、转录调控以及染色质动力学和染色质对基因调控的影响。在宜人的夏季气候下，营造了一个刺激和协作的氛围，会议期间呈现了 50 多场精彩的演讲和 200 多张海报。由于篇幅限制，我很抱歉无法将所有演讲者的优秀工作都包括在本报告中。
