OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Function and mechanisms of the ChAHP-family chromatin remodeler complexes
The ChAHP complex is an essential genome regulator that integrates a transcription factor, a chromatin remodeler and heterochromatin proteins into a single functional unit. I will present our recent discovery of its role in repressing transposons and the molecular mechanisms underpinning this function. Our identification of the paralogous ChAHP2 complex and its distinct properties establishes this protein family as a conserved, vertebrate-specific component of the retrotransposon control machinery.
