✨Excited to share my first postdoc paper on chromatin remodeler, MORC2 ✨

Using #cryoEM & #singlemolecule imaging, we reveal how MORC2 compacts DNA 🔬🧬

Thanks to all collaborators from @wehi-research.bsky.social @ccemmp-outreach.bsky.social Uni Melb, Monash Uni, Seoul National Uni and Texas Uni!

Researchers learned a function of enzyme MORC2, that helps organise DNA and turn off genes when not needed. Mutations in MORC2 cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a rare condition that weakens muscles. These findings could lead to new treatments.
