Immune Cell Gene Expression Revealed in 3D Maps Enhancers serve as specific switches that turn on genes in a cell specific manner but it has been difficult to determine which switch is connected to which gene. [Alex Fung] December 22, 2020 Enhancers serve as specific switches that turn on genes in a cell specific manner but it has been difficult to determine which switch is connected to which gene. [Alex Fung] Share To understand how genes affect human health, researchers need to go beyond variants in the DNA sequence, and dive into the switches, or enhancers, that control when and where a g...
Novel 3D maps show how genes interact in several types of immune cells The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how our small genetic differences can have a tremendous effect on how our bodies respond to disease. The difference is within us. We can get infected by the same bacteria or viruses, but the ways our diseases progress can be very different." Vivek Chandra, Ph.D, Instructor at La Jolla Institute for Immunology Genetic variations are important, but there's more to the puzzle. To truly understand how genes affect health, researchers need to track down the switches (also called "enhancers"...

"The difference is within us," says Vivek Chandra, Ph.D., an instructor at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI). "We can get infected by the same bacteria or viruses, but the ways our diseases progress can be very different." Genet...
