In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

The Human Genome Project was completed a little over twenty years ago. Now, scientists involved in the 4D Nucleome Project have created a detailed map that not only showcases the human genome in 3D, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has received a $2 million grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation for ongoing research to develop a comprehensive map of human genetic variation. The Human Genome ...

New analysis of the 1000 Genomes sample set yields brand new insights, providing a more complete view of human genetic variation than ever before. Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us ...

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 ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and open science that the Human Genome Project helped promote. Twenty-five ...

A team of UK-based researchers is going where no scientist has dared to go—writing artificial human DNA from scratch. They’re hoping the project will answer fundamental questions about the human ...

Twenty-five years ago today, on July 7, 2000, the world got its very first look at a human genome — the 3 billion letter code that controls how our bodies function. Posted online by a small team at ...
