  • Conformation and dynamics of the mammalian chromosome 
    Zhang, Lyndon N. (Lyndon Nuoxi) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
    The control of transcription represents a fundamental, initial mechanism by which the regulation of gene expression is implemented. However, while much research has been done on the biochemistry and cellular function of ...
  • Exploring the functional conservation of muscleblind (Mbl) proteins 
    Oddo, Julia C. (Julia Christine) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
    Muscleblind (Mbl) is an evolutionarily conserved family of proteins involved in many aspects of RNA metabolism, including alternative splicing. Disruption of Muscleblind in several animals lends to a variety of defects and ...
  • Analysis of NusA's roles in DNA repair and damage tolerance pathways in Escherichia coli 
    Zhao, Yimin, S.M. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
    NusA has long known to be a bona fide transcription factor that functions in both termination and antitermination. However, its role in DNA repair and damage tolerance has not been explored until recently. Cohen et al. ...
  • Structural studies on the LINC complex and Fic-1 
    Guo, Xuanzong (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
    LINC complexes span the nuclear envelope and connect the nucleoskeleton to the cytoskeleton. In 2012, our lab solved the first LINC complex structure, that of SUN domain of human SUN2 bound with KASH1 or KASH2 peptides. ...
  • A flow cytometry-based method for gene expression profiling of CNS cell types 
    Luo, Tewei (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
    In this thesis, I present a technique for profiling gene expression of specific cell types in the central nervous system (CNS), called fluorescence activated nuclei sorting (FANS). FANS utilizes flow cytometry to isolate ...
