4D Nucleome Project

The 4D Nucleome Project is a scientific initiative aimed at understanding the complex organization of DNA within cell nuclei in three dimensions, across time. It investigates how the structure and folding of our genetic material influence gene expression and cellular functions. By combining advanced imaging techniques and computational methods, researchers seek to map the spatial arrangement of chromosomes and how they interact in living cells, contributing to our knowledge of various biological processes and diseases, including cancer. Essentially, it explores the "how" and "why" of genetic activity in the context of its physical structure and dynamics.
