Genome maps: navigating the cell nucleus with GPSeq

Researchers at Human Technopole developed a novel tool to map the spatial organisation of the nucleus of eukaryotic cells by profiling the radial distribution of the genome from the nuclear periphery to the centre. The experimental procedure is published in Nature Protocols and featured on the cover of the journal.
