Superresolution microscopy (SIM, PALM), ChIP-seq, Hi-C, Streptococcus pneumoniae. What’s not to like?! Many thanks also to (then) MSc students Jasper&Barbara. Project started years ago in Groningen and brilliantly completed by Maria Vittoria

Awesome work by Maria Vittoria Mazzuoli @vrrenske.bsky.social#MicroSkywww.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

HU promotes higher-order chromosome organisation and influences DNA replication rates in Streptococcus pneumoniae

Nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) are crucial for maintaining chromosomal compaction and architecture and are actively involved in DNA replication, recombination, repair, and gene regulation. In the...

Great episode of Night Science with one of my favorite scientists Dianne Newman! I completely echo with what she says (but could never say it so clear and eloquent). 'Don't worry with whats popular now, orient yourself to something that grabs you for a very fundamental reason' t.co/U2Lr0pjbiO

Dianne Newman and the visceral and intentional sides of science

Episode · Night Science · Dianne Newman – a molecular microbiologist at CalTech – is a professor both in Biology and Geology. In this episode, she encourages young scientists to pursue questions to wh...
