Cell geometry is tightly coupled to gene expression patterns within the tissue microenvironment. This perspective synthesizes evidence that the 3D organization of chromosomes is a critical intermediate for geometric control of genomic programs. Using a combination of experiments and modeling we outline approaches to decipher the mechano-genomic code that governs cellular homeostasis and reprogramming.
细胞几何学与组织微环境中的基因表达模式紧密相关。这一观点综合了相关证据,即染色体的三维组织是基因组程序几何控制的关键中间环节。我们通过实验和建模相结合的方式,概述了解码控制细胞稳态和重编程的机械基因组密码的方法。
