This EMBO Workshop brings together leaders in genomics, neuroscience, and epigenetics to advance our understanding of how the (epi)genome achieves this diversity, shaping brain function and behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent technological breakthroughs in single-cell, spatial, and 3D genomics and epigenomics are revealing unprecedented insights into the molecular logic behind neural diversity as well as neuronal connectivity and function. But there is much we do not understand, especially when trying to link these molecular and cellular processes to higher brain functions such as memory and behavior, or to disrupted brain states in aging and disease. Progress in these directions will require studies in human cells with traditional and emerging model organisms, all of which will be featured in this workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key questions at the cutting edge of the field will be explored, such as: how does three-dimensional chromatin architecture orchestrate cell-type-specific gene expression? What (epi)genomic processes govern the establishment and maintenance of neuronal identity and connectivity? How do activity-dependent changes in transcription and chromatin contribute to synaptic plasticity and memory? How might the dysregulation of these processes underlie neurodevelopmental and neurological disorders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By bridging genomics, neuroscience, and epigenetics, this conference aims to stimulate new ideas on how the (epi)genome orchestrates brain function and to solidify the growing scientific community that sees the intersection of these three disciplines as fundamental to our understanding of the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Epigenetic basis of neural diversity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chromatin and

By combining innovative enzymatic conversion chemistry with advanced data analysis, this assay enables comprehensive discovery across the 5\u2011base genome (A, T, G, C, and 5mC). The novel one\u2011step enzymatic conversion preserves DNA integrity, maintains library complexity, and achieves exceptional detection efficiency\u2014requiring less than one hour and avoiding the DNA damage associated with traditional bisulfite methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Illumina 5\u2011Base DNA Prep, researchers can simultaneously assess genetic and epigenetic variants, expanding biological insights into gene regulation, disease mechanisms, and cellular processes. DRAGEN\u2122 5\u2011base pipelines provide methylation\u2011aware variant calling, accurately distinguishing cytosine methylation from sequence variants using specialized algorithms. Integration with Illumina Connected Multiomics further simplifies end\u2011to\u2011end analysis, offering intuitive visualization, cross\u2011modality data exploration, and streamlined interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Illumina 5\u2011Base DNA Prep is a single\u2011assay solution for comprehensive whole\u2011genome and methylome profiling\u2014empowering researchers with dual insights in one day, one prep, and one sequencing run. Join our symposium to learn more about the Illumina 5\u2011Base assay and engage directly with experts who can answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"vf-divider\">\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"pacbio\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nThursday, 23 April 2026, 12:15 \u2013 12:45<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p><strong>Pacific Biosciences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Sequence and epigenome with HiFi long reads<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaker: Dimitar Petrov (PhD), Scientist II, Field Application Scientist, PacBio<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PacBio HiFi sequencing enables integrated analysis of genome structure and epigenetic state.

We highlight new methylation callers for direct detection of 5mC and 5hmC alongside sequence, and discuss Fiber-seq for single-molecule chromatin accessibility profiling.
