Creation Moment 8/10/2013 - Genes are 3-D...


"Cellular machines in the nucleus dynamically access DNA according to its three-dimensional layout.
Tim Mercer works at Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research and led authorship of the study, which analyzed the genome in 3-D. He told the Garvan Institute,
Over the last few years, we've been starting to appreciate just how the folding of the genome helps determine how it's expressed and regulated. Specific genes and even specific exons, are placed within easy reach by folding…This study provides the first indication that the three-dimensional structure of the genome can influence the splicing of genes.3
Exons are protein-coding segments within genes. Using a long sentence to represent a gene, clauses within that sentence loosely represent exons. Following this illustration, the genome operates like a dynamic library that opens and closes certain books and pages as needed, then even folds individual sentences, presenting specific words and phrases for reading and copying into RNA."
