Decades-old DNA mystery solved after strands are captured zipping together for the first time trib.al/Ksu5Hp1
Agnes Noy retweeted
Researchers used a record player–like microscope to see DNA pairing for the first time. sciencenews.org/article/dna-…

The work adds insight to the process in which cells pair up chromosomes before divvying DNA into eggs or sperm.

How DNA strands meet to divvy up chromosomes was a longtime mystery.

Scientists have discovered how DNA molecules overcome their natural electrical repulsion to pair together. Tiny metal ions act as molecular bridges, supporting a 20-year-old “DNA zipper” theory and offering new clues about cancer and biotechnology.

Gave my first talk at the @UniOfYork Grateful to @BPSIYork & @ANoyLab for the opportunity, and to my supervisor @joshiphy for his constant support. It was a truly enriching experience to share my work and interact with such inspiring researchers. Also thnks to @SonamRagha77827 – at Heslington, England

Having attended the previous edition, I can vouch for how insightful this conference is. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this vibrant community!

So she was first author on his key paper - in fact she's on most of his key papers, yet she didn't get the Nobel Prize, in spite of the fact they could have given 3 awards, not just 2. Explain to me how STEM is not institutionally sexist.
Congratulations to our 2024 medicine laureate Victor Ambros ✨
This morning he celebrated the news of his prize with his colleague and wife Rosalind Lee, who was also the first author on the 1993 'Cell' paper cited by the Nobel Committee.

A fantastic outcome from @PhysicsofLifeUK summer studentship funding, congratulations @TaniaGardasevic and @ANoyLab on this lovely 🧬paper.
🔈Our last paper on DNA elasticity and A-tracts has just appeared in Nanoscale: doi.org/10.1039/D4NR02571G. Simulations and analysis done by @TaniaGardasevic during her masters and @PhysicsofLifeUK summer studentship (so talented!🤯)

Drug-resistant infections are a global problem.
They’re a threat to our health, livelihoods, healthcare systems and national economies.
However, the weight of this burden is not felt equally.
Not even close. ⤵️🌍 [1/3]
ALT Drug-resistant infections threaten us all—but not equally. A world map with regions coloured in various shades of red indicates the number of deaths associated with bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in 2019. The darkest shades of red show that South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, east Asia and Oceania have the highest number of deaths associated with AMR. High-income countries, as well as Latin America, the Caribbean, Central Europe, eastern Europe, central Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, are notably lighter in colour – showing the lower burden of deaths associated with AMR. A footnote shows the source of information as 'The Lancet, Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019 report'.
