Scientists depicted the four-dimensional genome model to reveal how DNA folding regulates genes. The discovery helps ...

This is because the human genome is not linear. It loops and it folds. Genes interact with one another. And these ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

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 ...

A new study challenges what's long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness.

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

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

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has ...
