Chromosome organization in diploid cells reveals a structural basis for smell Since the 1880s, scientists such as Carl Rabl have been looking at cell nuclei under a microscope and speculating about their three-dimensional (3D) structure. We now know that each nucleus in our body carries 6 billion base pairs (bp) of DNA, which would be 2 m long if fully stretched. The linear sequence of this DNA was determined by the Human Genome Project in 2003; however, its 3D structure remains elusive.
