How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored ...

Over the course of three months, Professor Michael Levine’s lab at the Department of Molecular Biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics have published two papers elucidating the ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

University of Wisconsin researchers Sushmita Roy and Erika Da-Inn Lee have developed a new computational tool that maps changes in the genome, ultimately helping researchers see DNA’s 3D organization ...

CHICAGO --- 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 ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

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 ...

In a major leap for genetics, scientists from MIT and UMass Medical School have uncovered how the human genome folds into a three-dimensional, knot-free structure, called a fractal globule, that ...

Flax is a globally important crop valued for its fiber, industrial uses, and omega-3-rich oil, yet incomplete genomic information has long limited efforts to understand and improve its key traits.
