The synthesis of proteins, maintenance of structure and duplication of the eukaryotic cell itself are all fine-tuned biochemical processes that depend on the precise structural arrangement of the cellular components. The regulation of genes – their transcription and replication - has been shown to be connected closely to the three-dimensional organization of the genome in the cell nucleus. Despite the successful linear sequencing of the human genome its three-dimensional structure is widely unknown.
