Hidden Cell Dark Genome conference The Hidden Cell Dark Genome conference was held from 3-4 April to explore the difficult-to-reach parts of biology – the non-coding genome, rare tissue-specific splicing events, microexons, rare-cell types and atomic structures in the cellular context. Held at the John McIntyre Conference Centre, it was organised by Dr Hannah Long and Dr Shipra Bhatia, from the Institute of Genetics and Cancer (IGC), together with colleagues from the Wellcome Discovery Research Platform for Hidden Cell Biology (School of Science and Engineering), to link the strategic themes of the MRC Human Genetics Unit at the IGC and the Wellcome Centre.It included a range of international keynote speakers, including:Emily Wong – Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, UNSW SydneySean Munro – LMB, CambridgeSarah Teichmann – Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, University of CambridgeWolfgang Baumeister – Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, MunichManuel Irimia – Centre for Genomic Regulation, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), BarcelonaChristine Cucinotta – Ohio State University, Columbus The conference was preceded by a public lecture by writer and broadcaster Dr Kat Arney entitled ‘Enter the Dark Genome’ at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. Dr Arney is an award-winning science communicator and author of the books 'How to Code a Human', 'Herding Hemingway's Cats' and 'Rebel Cell', as well as the host of the Genetics Society's Genetics Unzipped podcast and a guest on several BBC Radio 4 science programmes.She took the audience on a trip to the frontiers of biology to explore the weird and wonderful world inside DNA.
