It is a great experience working with you and your event camera this week!

Congrats to you all! Excellent work.

FPbase Fluorescence Spectra Viewer An interactive fluorescence spectra viewer to evaluate the spectral properties of fluorescent proteins, organic dyes, filters, and detectors.

The FPbase spectra viewer just had it's biggest software refactor in 6 years. It *should* be largely invisible to the end user (hopefully just faster and less buggy). Please let me know if you find any issues as you use it!

Super excited to share my first preprint from @andersshansen.bsky.social Lab! We used MINFLUX to track chromatin (H2B-Halo and Fbn2 locus) at an unprecedented 200 μs, then combined it with SPT to span μs-minutes (H2B) or SPT & Super-Res Live-Cell Imaging (SRLCI) to span μs-hours (Fbn2)

🧪Job opening at Janelia @hhmijanelia.bsky.social Integrative Imaging platform for a bioimage analyst. Please repost.

Our review on Light sheet illumination in single-molecule localization microscopy for imaging of cellular architectures and molecular dynamics is now published in npj Imaging!

Check it out here: doi.org/10.1038/s443...

New discovery from our #CDlab reported in Cell @cp-cell.bsky.social today:
SMC motor proteins have a left-right ‘gearbox’ and can switch direction in DNA loop extrusion!

Pol II degradation activates cell death independently from the loss of transcription Pol II-mediated transcription is essential for eukaryotic life. While loss of transcription is thought to be universally lethal, the associated mechanisms promoting cell death are not yet known. Here,...

We just posted a preprint about a death mechanism that we find truly surprising.

When you turn off transcription, cells die (duh!)... but did you know this happens due to loss of Pol II itself, not loss of Pol II activity!?!
