The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ways that help determine how life functions at the cellular level.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

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 ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...
