A three-dimensional map of the genome: Gene mapping technique promises to unlock the power of proximity to find genes implicated in diseases

A three-dimensional map of the genome: Gene mapping technique promises to unlock the power of proximity to find genes implicated in diseases | Bioscience News - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

Cells face a daunting task. They have to neatly pack a several meter-long thread of genetic material into a nucleus that measures only five micrometers across. This origami creates spatial interactions between genes and their switches, which can affect human health and disease. Now, an international team of scientists has devised a powerful new technique that 'maps' this three-dimensional geography of the entire genome.

BigField GEG Tech's insight:

Ozbolat and his research team developed a method to produce larger scale tissues without using a scaffold. They create a tiny -- from 3 to 5 one hundredths of an inch in diameter -- tube made of alginate, an algae extract. They inject cartilage cells into the tube and allow them to grow for about a week and adhere to each other. Because cells do not stick to alginate, they can remove the tube and are left with a strand of cartilage. The researchers reported their results in the current issue of Scientific Reports.
