University of Toronto researchers have developed a new computational method to study how chromosomes within human cells are organized. 

The method could help advance precision medicine by shedding light on how chromosomal re-organization leads to disease development.   

Professor Samin Aref (MIE) worked with a team led by Professor Philipp Maass from the Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Department of Molecular Genetics and the SickKids Research Institute
