In partnership with Science Animated, we produced an animation that puts our recent work on genome packaging rdcu.be/dBaXM into a broader perspective. #dna #viruses #highperformancecomputing #tcbguiuc

Such a beautiful cover!

It cannot be done, they said.. It's too flexible, they said.. 😁 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #NPC #teamtomo #integrativemodeling by Digvijay Singh Neelesh Soni Josh Hutchings Ignacia Echeverria et al. Great collaboration w/ Qiang Guo, Brian Chait, Javi Fernandez-Mtnz, Rout Lab Andrej Sali lab

Many thanks for hosting us!

We are looking for postdoctoral researchers to work on the following topics: computational modeling of viruses and organelles, nanopore protein sequencing, DNA nanotechnology, and synthetic cell development. To apply, visit: my.physics.illinois.edu/submit/go.asp?…

Congratulations to Emad Emad Tajkhorshid, PhD, well deserved and overdue!

Congratulations to Hemani, our new Beckman Fellow!!!

Thank you, Sarthak, for the hooding ceremony and for being such a fantastic student! ⁦Kumar Sarthak⁩

We missed you, Kush! Kush Coshic 🇮🇳

Many thanks for this collaborative project that has pushed out computational technology to the limit!

In a study led by Filip Boskovic we examined how the electrophoretic transport of RNA:DNA and DNA through nanopores depends on the contour length rather than the number of base pairs. Nice blend of experiments and simulations! AksimentievLab ACS Nano 🧬🕳️⚛️ Cambridge University

Have a nanopore but not happy with its ion selectivity or electroosmotic effect? You can easily improve both! Find out how: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Thanks to Wanunu Lab and Zuzanna Siwy for this great collaboration. Congrats to Behzad on another cover! #MyACSCover #nanopores

Thrilled to share new Nature Nano paper by Giacomo Fabrini introducing genetically encoded condensate-forming RNA nanostructures🧬 doi.org/10.1038/s41565… ..and the great companion Nature Communications paper by Jaimie Marie Stewart Elisa Franco Paul Rothemund doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

The variation of the electric field around a DNA duplex is surprisingly complex. Now, a nonlocal electrostatic theory can explain most of the features seen in all-atom MD simulations. Many thanks to Alexei Kornyshev, Jonathan Hedley Kush Coshic 🇮🇳 and The Leverhulme Trust

Great achievement from the Nivala lab! See also in News and Views: "Thread, read, rewind, repeat: towards using nanopores for protein sequencing" nature.com/articles/d4158…
