Scientists map the true nature of the genome with its loops and folds in four dimensions across time and space.
A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.
One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...
If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about 0.01 mm in size, it must be tightly folded. DNA wraps around proteins call ...
Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...
Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven are doing—constructing intricate 3D nanostructures by harnessing the ...
