Oxford researchers map DNA's 3D structure at base-pair resolution, linking genetic variations to diseases and advancing precision medicine.
Researchers led by Professor James Davies at Oxford University have published a landmark study in Cell, using a new technique called MCC ultra to map the 3D structure of DNA in human cells at base-pair resolution.
The study reveals how non-coding regulatory elements interact with genes, showing how genetic variations can disrupt these interactions and contribute to diseases like autoimmune disorders, heart disease, and cancer.
The findings, enabled by Nucleome Therapeutics’ exclusive license to MCC technology, offer a new way to link genetic risk variants to specific gene circuits, accelerating the discovery of targeted therapies and advancing precision medicine.
Los investigadores de Oxford mapean la estructura 3D del ADN con resolución de pares de bases, vinculando las variaciones genéticas a las enfermedades y avanzando en la medicina de precisión.
