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 ...
One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.
DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated-able to read not only the ...
A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.
MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...
A new interactive map, GlobalBuildingAtlas, has been released, featuring 2.75 billion buildings in 3D worldwide. Developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich using satellite images ...
