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 ...
The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...
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.
