3D Nucleome

The 3D Nucleome refers to the complex, three-dimensional arrangement of DNA within the cell nucleus. Unlike the traditional view of DNA as a linear string, the 3D structure involves how DNA folds, loops, and interacts with itself, influencing how genes are turned on or off. This spatial organization allows specific genes to communicate and regulate one another efficiently. Understanding the 3D Nucleome helps scientists grasp how genetic information is managed inside cells, impacting development, health, and disease. It's a key area in researching how our genetic blueprint functions in a physical, three-dimensional space.
