Videos of keynote speakers in Vienna – Hiroyuki Sasaki
Hiroyuki Sasaki’s keynote lecture was on the regulatory network of small RNAs and DNA methylation in mouse germ cells. They’ve recently shown a role for piRNAs in paternal imprinting in male spermatogonia, in work published in Science in 2011.

Videos of keynote speakers in Vienna – Susan Gasser

Susan Gasser spoke about nuclear organization in cell type commitment in C.elegans at the EpiGeneSys Annual Meeting in Vienna in November, 2011. They’ve established a method to visually observe gene tethering at the nuclear envelope via live imaging, and have contributed important mechanistic insights using this technique, which Susan elaborates on in her keynote address.
