🔥New Night Science paper!!
Discovery happens when your initial plans fall apart but it requires you to have a particular mindset: it's not extraverted, orderly, neurotic or agreeable that's the most important – discovery requires an OPENNESS to new ideas and unexpected insights.

Osmotic disruption of chromatin induces Topoisomerase 2 activity at sites of transcriptional stress - Nature Communications Transcription creates superhelical stress in DNA, challenging genome stability. Here the authors find Top2 activity is uncorrelated with transcription unless chromatin is disrupted suggesting that chr...

Delighted to share the ground-breaking work from BBSRC Discovery Fellow @whgittens.bsky.social mapping physiological Top2 activity without poisons. Acute sensitivity enables sub-minute visualisation of Top2 hotspots hidden within sites of latent topological stress: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
