The first meeting of the Boston Chromatin Club. This meeting was attended by Tadasu Nozaki (Kleckner lab), Akwasi Agbleke (Kleckner lab) and Andrew Seeber (Seeber lab). In this meeting we discussed the aims of the club and how to involve additonal people including faculty at Harvard and Harvard Medical School. In terms of science we talked about the difficulties of monitoring chromatin marks in living cells and how to over come them. We talked about some of the "big questions" in chromatin i.e. how do DNA sequences of proteins scan the genome for their targets. Finally, we discussed the merits of a variety of different fluorophores for use in multi-color imaging with the addtional parameter of quick protein maturation.
