Center for Genome Imaging
Description: Project Narrative/Relevance Center for genome imaging (CGI) A full understanding of the genome will require the highest resolution knowledge of how genes and chromosomes are organized in 3D space in both healthy and diseased cells. Without such knowledge, efforts to advance disease diagnosis and medical intervention will be compromised. As such, the overarching goal of the proposed studies is to develop and implement imaging and analysis strategies that can encompass entire genomes, including the distinction of homologs and the identification of highly repetitive sequences, and, thus, comprehensively elucidate how spatial organiza- tion influences genome function, stability, and inheritance.
