Imagine the genome as a city with different neighborhoods, each having its function. Topologically associating domain (TAD) boundaries are like the fences that separate these neighborhoods, maintaining distinct regulatory territories. Disruption of these boundaries may interfere with regular gene expression and cause diseases, but the full impact remains unclear. Researchers…Read more

Mutant mouse genetic modifications have revolutionized biomedical research, enabling scientists to study specific gene mutations and their effects on biological processes. This study used data mining to investigate congenital abnormalities underlying the Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia, and Coloboma (MAC) spectrum disease, a group of eye malformations that cause childhood visual impairment. The…Read more
