By mapping how the genome folds and shifts inside living cells, the team has revealed how the physical structure of DNA helps control gene activity. The research, conducted with the 4D Nucleome Project and published in Nature, offers a new understanding of how genetic instructions operate beyond the DNA sequence itself. DNA folding shapes gene activity Scientists found that DNA inside the nucleus does not exist as a straight strand. Instead, it folds into loops and forms compartments that...

His method of locating genes in human DNA allowed researchers to find disease-causing genes, and later to map the entire, sprawling human genome.

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell’s behaviour is how a gene’s instructions are trimmed and rearranged before...
