Perhaps you have heard about the Flemish cartographer – Gerardus Mercator [Original name: Gerard De Cremer or Kremer]. When we cannot find our way, we must use some form of navigation. Gerardi has made getting lost much more difficult. Not too bad! But some people still get lost (including myself). A map is a much-needed innovation for billions of people which is particularly remarkable until today, is it not? G.M. | The one who coined the term "atlas" for a collection of maps. | 1538 – a map of the world Sounds impressive, I know. The thing that has amazed me is how this man could do all that in those days? No GIS, no GPS... No view of digital mapping. After much mulling, I have not yet cracked him. He was simply a genius! Everything was born from his imagination and visionary mindset. Either way, he was an outstanding figure of the 16th century! Now we ask ourselves: are we ready to change the course of history? Spatial genomics is gathering momentum! Chromatin borders and territories are established, now, what we need is to explore them still further. To draw the best possible ATLAS of human chromatin one day: we must have more genomgraphers, chromatingraphers and 3D genome-like specialists. This means thrilling times are coming! #innovation #mindset #genomics
