Description:The goal of the Common Fund’s 4D Nucleome (4DN) program is to study the three-dimensional organization of the nucleus in space and time (the 4th dimension). The nucleus of a cell contains DNA, the genetic “blueprint” that encodes all of the genes a living organism uses to produce proteins needed to carry out life-sustaining cellular functions. Scientists know that how the information in the nucleus organized, stored, and unpackaged are all important to basic human health and we are only starting to learn how changes in this organization can lead to the development of different diseases, such as cancer or our response to infectious agents like viruses.
Dcc Name:4D NUCLEOME DATA COORDINATION AND INTEGRATION CENTER
Dcc Description:The 4D Nucleome (4DN) Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) aims to collect, store, curate, display, and analyze data generated in the 4DN Network. The DCIC is a collaboration of two centers from three institutions: Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and The Washington University in St. Louis (WashU). The Harvard/MIT DCIC is tasked with building the infrastructure for data collection and integration. The Harvard/MIT and WashU centers will collaborate on the development and incorporation of novel data visualization tools. The 4DN Data Portal is accessible at data.4dnucleome.org.
