DNA’s double act: how genetic copies stick together during replication Two leading DNA researchers have come together to confirm long-standing theories and uncover surprising new insights into how life’s code is copied and held together.

A diverse team of Crick researchers has come together to make some surprising new insights into how copies of DNA are held together by the ring-shaped protein complex cohesin during the replication process.

Seeing the Invisible with Electron Microscopy YouTube video by Francis Crick Institute

If you’ve ever wondered how we get high resolution images of incredibly tiny things, check out our latest video with @em-stp.bsky.social

They discuss how electron microscopes use beams of electrons to see things that light microscopes can’t.

Researchers show that the cell nucleus is the pacemaker for cell division Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker i...

Crick researchers have shown that the ‘pacemaker’ controlling yeast cell division is located inside the nucleus, rather than outside it as was previously thought.

This research was led by @nitinkapadia.bsky.social and Paul Nurse.

A unified model for cohesin function in sisterchromatid cohesion and chromatin loop formation Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes are thought to shape genomes by extruding DNA loops, but recent genetic tests have challenged the “loop extrusion hypothesis.” Here, Uhlmann explores whether SMC complexes might form chromatin loops by sequential DNA-DNA capture, akin to how cohesin establishes sister chromatid cohesion.
