Scientists propose a new mechanism by which oxygen may have first built up in the atmosphere

Researchers create a mathematical framework to examine the genome and detect signatures of natural selection, deciphering the evolutionary past and future of non-coding DNA.

Extra chromosome alters chromosomal conformation and DNA accessibility in neural progenitor cells, disrupting gene transcription and cell functions much like in cellular aging.

Researchers decipher when and why immune cells fail to respond to immunotherapy, and suggest that T cells need a different kind of prodding in order to re-engage the immune response.

A new RNA-based control switch could be used to trigger production of therapeutic proteins to treat cancer or other diseases.

A new study shows oxygenic photosynthesis likely evolved between 3.4 and 2.9 billion years ago.

MIT professors Dave Des Marais and Caroline Uhler combine plant biology and machine learning to identify genetic roots of plant responses to environmental stress.

Researchers find RNA-guided enzymes are more diverse and widespread than previously believed.

Through a summer research program at MIT, Patricia Pujols explored the neuromuscular junction, and a future in science.

A technique for labeling and retrieving DNA data files from a large pool could help make DNA data storage feasible.
