Congratulations to James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo: 2018 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation.”

We have updated our preprint on absolute CTCF and cohesin quantification: 1) we parameterize loop extrusion models in mESCs. 2) cohesin subunits co-IP - non-moneric cohesins in mESCs? 3) a simple method to quantify protein abundance (# protein/cell) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

with ClaudiaCattoglio Tjian + Darzacq Group @EllenbergLab Nike Walther Xavier Darzacq Thanks to Nike Walther and @EllenbergLab for the collaboration and for cross-validating the estimates using calibrated FCS-imaging. Numbers in image below. We would appreciate any comments or suggestions.

The double-helical structure of DNA was described 66 years ago in 1953. The description was provided over 3 articles in Nature from James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, Raymond Gosling, Maurice Wilkins, Alex Stokes and Herbert Wilson.

The double helix of B-form DNA, seen here, was estimated to have a diameter of 2nm. For comparison, the diameter of a strand of B-form DNA is: - 1/90,000th that of an average strand of human hair - 1/7,000,000th that size of a AA battery #DNA #helix #doublehelix #tbt

and 1/23,000,000,000th that of the Advanced Training Centre (the ATC building) at EMBL. whose architecture is inspired by DNA’s double helix. Happy Thursday! #throwback

As part of #Nature150, we are showcasing 150 articles from nature archive, one for each year the journal has been published (1869-2019). We'll be posting one article per day over the 150 days leading up to our anniversary issue on 7 November 2019 facebook.com/pg/NatureNews/…

While the authors used challenging methods and made some novel discoveries this reviewer is still concerned that the manuscript contains significant gaps and it is unclear how they reached their conclusions x.com/TheoShantonas/…
