The first 3D mapping of the human genome

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...
For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...
New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.
Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations ...
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genome regions containing thousands of genetic variants associated with asthma, but it’s still not clear which variants have an ...
A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...
