Researchers translated experimental data into Minecraft files to recreate 3D images in a more accessible setting. My group studies the minimum requirements for cells to live. As part of one project, ...

The origin of many diseases begins at the cellular level and involves multiple molecular interactions. However, previous methods have struggled to accurately observe changes in individual cells.

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...
