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

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 ...

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

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.

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

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

DNA might be too small to see with the unaided eye, but it packs our cells in shocking quantities: More than six and a half feet of DNA lies within every cellular nucleus. It squeezes into such a ...
