The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

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. In a ...

It’s called a pangenome, and it could explain the DNA that makes each of us unique. The joke about the Human Genome Project is how many times it’s been finished, but not actually. The first time was ...

An illustration of multicolored tangle of threads within a small black sphere. A 3D illustration shows DNA packaged into the nucleus, scientists with the 4D Nucleome project are now building accurate ...

The excitement was palpable last year when scientists announced that they'd virtually completed rough drafts of the human genome. Today at a Washington news conference they called the results even ...

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. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...
