The FEBS workshop “Conservation and Diversity of Gene Regulatory Mechanisms Across Eukaryotes” aims to bridge the gap between research on gene transcription regulation in model and non-model organisms. While model organisms have driven discoveries in gene expression, non-model systems offer unique insights into the conservation and diversity of regulatory mechanisms, including chromatin organization. The event will bring together researchers working on yeasts, flies, plants, mammals, and other less-studied organisms, using genomics, structural biology, and computational approaches. With enthusiastic support from invited speakers, this workshop will foster interdisciplinary discussions and highlight the evolutionary and mechanistic aspects of gene transcription across diverse systems.

Location: Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
