Problem to solve

Understanding the role of the 3D genome in disease. The genome is similar to yarn spooled and re-spooled to have efficient packing — if stretched out, a human genome would measure over 6 feet. Over the last century, the rules of genetics have been established along with characterization of the central dogma. Driven by new tools, the higher-order regulation (i.e. epigenetic) and…
