Hi-C Chromatin Interaction Networks Predict Co-expression in the Mouse Cortex

The three dimensional conformation of the genome in the cell nucleus influences important biological processes such as gene expression regulation. Recent studies have shown a strong correlation between chromatin interactions and gene co-expression. However, predicting gene co-expression from frequent long-range chromatin interactions remains...

Micro scale spatial relationships in urban studies: The relationship between private and public space and its impact on street life

Research on urban environment by means of space syntax theory and methods tends to focus on macro scale spatial conditions. However, micro scale conditions should not be neglected. In research on street life and dispersal of crime in urban areas, it became inevitable to pay attention to the interdependence between the macro as well as the micro...

Centrality and economic development in the Rijnland region: Social and spatial concepts of centrality

In urban research, spatial and social concepts of centrality are being distinguished. From a spatial point of view, metrical centrality implies that something is located in the middle of an area. However, metrical and topological centrality are not equivalent. In research where space syntax methods are applied, topological centrality implies...
