Scientists decipher the 3-D structure of the human genome

Fractal globule architecture packs two meters of DNA into each human cell, avoids knots

14-Oct-2009 - Scientists have deciphered the three-dimensional structure of the human genome, paving the way for new insights into genomic function and expanding our understanding of how cellular DNA folds at scales that dwarf the double helix. In a paper in Science, they describe a new technology called Hi-C ...
