- Reasons for recommending:
The added power of this modified method to lay out the 3D arrangement of the chromosomes of the genome in the nucleus is a major advance. we had some information before this, but now we can look at the full arrangement, in any cells, underany conditions. Very clever technique coupled with beautiful computational analysis.
