The first 3D reconstruction of DNA

According to scientific information on the new genome, published by scientists in California, the DNA was first modeled as a three-dimensional structure. This finding promises to be the key to new treatments for cancer, especially cancer.

Researchers at the Salk Institute of California and the University of California, San Diego have identified a new DNA stain that allows them to have an unmatched view of the 3D structure of human chromosomes .

When viewed through an electron microscope, scientists can see the three-dimensional DNA structure of both non-dividing and dividing cell types. Researchers say the findings will be updated in textbooks and will change the way scientists learn new ways to treat diseases, particularly in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

According to the researchers, this discovery will also be an answer to the question "What makes the cell and why the cells are different in each person?"
