About the Aiden Lab and The Center for Genome Architecture at Baylor College of Medicine

Directed by Erez Lieberman Aiden, The Center for Genome Architecture is a world leader in the study of 3-D genomics. In 2009, Dr. Aiden and colleagues introduced the Hi-C technology, the first method for sequencing entire genomes in 3-D. In 2014, researchers at TC4GA published the first reliable map of loops across the human genome. In 2015, researchers at TC4GA performed the first successful surgery on the human genome, changing how it is folded inside the nucleus of a cell by means of ultra-targeted DNA modifications. Their work has appeared on the cover of Nature and Science; the laboratory has also been recognized on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives for its discoveries about the structure of DNA.
