The All-Ireland Chromatin Consortium  (AICC) is a network of researchers on the Island of Ireland who are linked by interests to investigating all aspects of chromatin mechanisms in disease.

The aims of the AICC are to promote scientific exchange across Ireland and beyond, to foster collaborations between labs, to expand expertise in the area of chromatin biology, and to raise the visibility of Irish chromatin research.

The AICC hosts inspiring webinars by leading international and emerging researchers, and holds an annual conference as an active and dynamic forum for PhD students and Postdocs working on chromatin biology to present and discuss their work and gain state of the art knowledge. 

Monarch nucleic acid purification kits provide fast and reliable isolation and purification of high quality DNA and RNA from a variety of sample types. Technologies used include best-in-class silica columns, silica‑coated mag beads, or glass‑beads for the isolation of high molecular weight DNA. The resulting nucleic acids are highly pure and ready for sequencing, cloning, PCR, and other enzymatic applications.

The Monarch nucleic acid purification portfolio can serve your needs, whether you are isolating nucleic acids from biological samples, cleaning up DNA and RNA from enzymatic reactions, extracting DNA fragments from gels, or purifying plasmids.

Monarch DNA and RNA kits use purposefully reduced‑plastic columns and bottles and come in compact packaging, providing environmental responsibility without compromising on performance.

• Convenient master mix and supermix formats and user-friendly protocols simplify reaction setup.
• Non-interfering, visible tracking dye eliminates pipetting errors.
• Formulated with a unique passive reference dye, compatible across a wide variety of thermal cyclers.
• Luna WarmStart RT paired with Hot Start Taq enables room temperature setup and stability.
• 4X option allows for more sample input, increasing sensitivity.
• Available in a lyophilized format.

Have you heard of CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag? These next-generation chromatin profiling technologies enable high-resolution mapping of DNA-binding proteins, histone modifications, and chromatin accessibility with exceptional sensitivity and low input requirements. In this seminar, you will learn how CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag work, the distinct advantages each method offers, and the key experimental considerations that guide the choice between them.

Join us to deepen your understanding of these powerful enzymatic profiling approaches and discover how they can help you unravel complex epigenetic regulation and accelerate your own scientific discoveries.

Are you looking to capture the full picture of cellular signaling and gene expression at the single-cell level? Traditional single-cell sequencing often focuses on whole-cell transcripts or surface markers, missing the crucial intracellular dynamics orchestrated by proteins and their modifications.

This seminar focuses on InTraSeqTM Single Cell Analysis (Intracellular Protein and Transcriptomic Sequencing), a technology from CST that allows for the simultaneous detection of both RNA transcripts and intracellular proteins (including transcription factors and PTMs) from the same single cell.

Attend this session to understand the mechanics of InTraSeq Technology, see how its ability to integrate protein state (like phosphorylation) with gene expression within individual cells unlocks unprecedented insights into signaling heterogeneity, and learn how to leverage this technology to push the boundaries of single-cell biology.
