Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ancestry, according to a study published in Nature Communications. Researchers ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

One of the ultimate goals of biological research is to understand the multiscale organization of the human cell and its relationship to biological function and human disease. As much of cell structure ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London and University of Cambridge in collaboration with colleagues at HHMI Janelia and NIH, have created some of the most detailed three-dimensional maps ever ...
