Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

Ion channels generate electrical impulses produced by living cells. Synthetic ion channels could serve as tools for ...

The regions that changed structure in response to local mechanical properties, altered cell growth and/or migration, and controlled the levels of specific genes were dubbed "mechanoenhancers" to ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the "hemifusome"—was ...

MIT scientists have overturned the belief that genome structure vanishes during cell division. Using high-resolution genome ...
