mScarlet3-H (aka mYongHong) is on the cover of Nature Methods! All plasmids are available for free from WeKwikGene wekwikgene.wllsb.edu.cn/publications/7…
The MOSAIC reconfigurable microscope by @Eric_Betzig et al is finally out! MOSAIC integrates multiple advanced imaging techniques including light-sheet, label-free, super-resolution, and multi-photon, all equipped with adaptive optics: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Congrats to Xinyao and Xie Chen! In eukaryotes, multiple transcription factors bind cooperatively to a regulatory region on genomic DNA to control gene expression. In this paper (bit.ly/3GV1BoP), we present an experimental metric for quantifying such cooperativity.

I know that the mRNA is larger than the protein it codes for but I don't believe it
If making chemical tools for biology excites you, consider applying to the NCBS graduate program! My lab plans to hire 1–2 graduate students this cycle. More info on my lab @ dyecraftlab.com

Making intrabodies from antibodies just got easier! Learn how we made 𝟭𝟵 intrabodies to bind and light up peptides and histone modifications in live cells. And thanks to Academia, all sequences are freely available. (video credit: Yuko Sato @YukoSatoT2) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, born on February 1, 1952. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more! nature.com/articles/nmeth… #FluorescenceFriday
2025 = 45^2 It's a perfect square. It will probably be the only perfect square year you ever get to live in. The last time that occurred was in 1936. The next will be in 2116. So, make 2025 a perfect year for you.

Check out this great write-up about our mobile Optical Coherence Microscope (OCM) and how it contributed to @embl's TREC expedition across Europe! 🔬🚚🐠
EMBL’s Prevedel Group scaled down a microscope to miniature size while scaling up imaging resolution. 🔬 Mobile OCM is a portable microscope to image label-free samples, with different magnifications and operating within fractions of a second. Read more: embl.org/news/science-t…
