James Dewey Watson – who won the Nobel Prize for his role in divining the structure of DNA; was instrumental in initiating and propelling the Human Genome Project; and who became notorious for his history of racist and sexist comments – has died at 97.

DNA pioneer James Watson has died ― colleagues wrestle with his legacy
The co-discoverer of the structure of DNA helped to strengthen a US research institute and wrote a classic textbook, but also earned a reputation for racist and sexist comments.

Happy to share our @narjournal.bsky.social paper on the mechanism of Dmc1 filament stabilization by Mei5-Sae3!

We show that Mei5-Sae3 can stabilize both active and inactive Dmc1 filaments, and that this is independent of the ATP hydrolytic cycle.

Mei5–Sae3 stabilizes both active and inactive forms of Dmc1 filaments independently of its impact on ATP hydrolysis
Abstract. In budding yeast, Dmc1’s recombinogenic activity is controlled by the meiosis-specific heterodimer Mei5–Sae3. Mei5–Sae3 is required for assembly
