The 40th International Asilomar Chromatin, Chromosomes, and Epigenetics Conference was held in the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove, California, USA, on 6-9 December 2018. The organizing committee consisted of established scientists in the fields of chromatin and epigenetics: Sally Pasion and Michael Goldman from the Biology Department, San Francisco State University, California, USA; Philippe Georgel from the Department of Biological Sciences, Marshal University, West Virginia, USA; Juan Ausió from the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada; and Christopher Eskiw from the Department of Biochemistry, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, Canada. The meeting had two keynote speakers: Jessica Tyler and Jennifer Mitchell, and it covered topics on transcription, replication and repair, epigenetics, cell differentiation and disease, telomeres, and centromeres and it had two sessions devoted to nuclear and genomic organization. It encompassed the enthusiastic presentations of excellent trainees within the breathtaking natural setting of Pacific Grove.
