Genome structure & dynamics will help to understand why the cells of our
body are so different although they share the same genetic information
Function
Function
Gene Networks Different cell types have different sets of transcription factors,
which act on cell-specific enhancers and establish different gene networks
Is there a structural substrate for the cell-specific gene networks?
Do temporal changes in the genome 3D structure
contribute to gene regulation?

4DGenome - Impact
• Open access to:
- Large scale datasets of unprecedented resolution and usability
- Software for data quality control and visualization including a 3D browser
• A new paradigm to understand human gene regulation:
How the 3D genome structure conditions cell-specific interactions of
regulatory sequences with target genes
• Discovering organizing principles for engineering the human genome.
Basic science
• 3D reorganization will help understanding disease and aging
• 3D genome structure conditions chromosomal translocation and in cancer
