The Shape of Your DNA Matters

Researchers created the most detailed maps yet of the genome’s three-dimensional organization using human stem cells and ...
A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.
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 ...
A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...
Scientists depicted the four-dimensional genome model to reveal how DNA folding regulates genes. The discovery helps ...
The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...
For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...
Scientists have uncovered a gut-specific epigenetic aging mechanism that links inflammation and iron imbalance to cancer risk ...
The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...
