It is in our genes – and how our genome folds in 3D

New findings could help in the prevention and treatment of diseases

01-Feb-2024 - Whether we stay healthy or become seriously ill is determined by our genes. But also, the folding of our genome has a significant influence on this, as the 3D genome organization regulates which genes are switched on and off. Researchers led by Marieke Oudelaar and Elisa Oberbeckmann at the Max ...

How to find marker genes in cell clusters

New method facilitates identification of cell-type specific genes in single-cell data

06-Jul-2022 - The thousands of cells in a biological sample are all different and can be analyzed individually, cell by cell. Based on their gene activity, they can be sorted into clusters. But which genes are particularly characteristic of a given cluster, i.e. what are its “marker genes”? A new statistical ...

165 new cancer genes identified with the help of machine learning

19-Apr-2021 - A new algorithm can predict which genes cause cancer, even if their DNA sequence is not changed. A team of researchers in Berlin combined a wide variety of data, analyzed it with “Artificial Intelligence” and identified numerous cancer genes. This opens up new perspectives for targeted cancer ...

Max Planck scientists develop new strategy to play major role in research on human diseases

09-Mar-2010 - Cells may not have a mouth, but they still need to ingest substances from the external environment. If this process - known as endocytosis - is affected, it can lead to infectious diseases or cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, Huntington’s and diabetes. In cooperation with the Center for ...
