A New Technology Could Help Solve a DNA Mystery

The human genome’s inner workings could be revealed through new Cornell-developed technology. Researchers from Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Weill Cornell Medicine, and the New York Genome Center have created a new technique to evaluate the three-dimensional structure of the human DNA, or how the genome folds, on a massive scale. The genome is the entire set of genetic instructions, either DNA or RNA, that allow an organism to function.
