DNA’s double act: how genetic copies stick together during replication
Two leading DNA researchers have come together to confirm long-standing theories and uncover surprising new insights into how life’s code is copied and held together.

If you’ve ever wondered how we get high resolution images of incredibly tiny things, check out our latest video with @em-stp.bsky.social
They discuss how electron microscopes use beams of electrons to see things that light microscopes can’t.

Crick researchers have shown that the ‘pacemaker’ controlling yeast cell division is located inside the nucleus, rather than outside it as was previously thought.
This research was led by @nitinkapadia.bsky.social and Paul Nurse.

A unified model for cohesin function in sisterchromatid cohesion and chromatin loop formation
A unified model for cohesin function in sisterchromatid cohesion and chromatin loop formation
Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes are thought to shape genomes by extruding DNA loops, but recent genetic tests have challenged the “loop extrusion hypothesis.” Here, Uhlmann explores whether SMC complexes might form chromatin loops by sequential DNA-DNA capture, akin to how cohesin establishes sister chromatid cohesion.
