    Touching New Heights Editor’S Note

    ENSEMBLEENSEMBLE Volume 4 (1) | January – February 2016 Newsletter of the Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research India-France Relations Touching New Heights editor’s note Dear Readers, India and France are witnessing the emergence of a new era of collaborative efforts between the two countries in various sectors. In November/December 2015, France hosted a successful global scale diplomatic event for adopting an agreement by many countries on climate change where India was also an active participant. After the visit of Honourable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi to France in April 2015, the French President H. E. Dr. Mukesh Kumar Mr. François Hollande visited India in January, 2016 as a Chief Guest on the Director, CEFIPRA occasion of 67th Republic Day of India. During his visit, Indian and French scientific as well as technological communities from academia and industry sectors, joined hands through several Agreements/MoUs signed by the two countries. CEFIPRA had the privilege of hosting the officials / signatories of three of such Agreements/MoU signed on 25 January 2016. CEFIPRA, since its evolution as a unique institutional platform and collaborative mechanism, is contributing through its various interventions in a diverse range of S&T domains. These collaborative efforts are making it possible to generate significant knowledge that has a potential to translate discovery science into solution science. I sincerely wish that all these MoUs will create new pathways to further strengthen the Indo-French collaborative research efforts. inside Editor-in-Chief Dr. Mukesh Kumar ii | editor’s note GD Birla Award x | Director, CEFIPRA Dr.

Abstract (240w, max 250w) In the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA associates with numerous protein complexes and RNAs, forming the chromatin landscape. Through a genome-wide study of chromatin- associated proteins in Drosophila cells, five major chromatin types were identified as a refinement of the traditional binary division into hetero- and euchromatin.

It is an autonomous institute fully funded by the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. Till October 10, 2000 the Institute was known as Mehta Research Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Physics (MRI) after which it was renamed as Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI) after the internationally acclaimed mathematician, late Prof Harish-Chandra. The Institute started with efforts of Dr. B. N. Prasad, a mathematician at the University of Allahabad with initial support from the B. S. Mehta Trust, Kolkata. Dr. Prasad was succeeded in January 1966 by Dr. S. R. Sinha, also of Allahabad University. He was followed by Prof. P. L. Bhatnagar as the first formal Director. After an interim period in January 1983, Prof. S. S. Shrikhande joined as the next Director of the Institute. During his tenure the dialogue with the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) entered into decisive stage and a review committee was constituted by the DAE to examine the Institutes fu- ture. In 1985 N. D. Tiwari, the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, agreed to provide sufficient land for the Institute and the DAE promised financial sup- port for meeting both the recurring and non-recurring expenditure.
