Exciting new work describes how @PacBio HiFi sequencing and polymerase kinetics can be used to observe mitochondrial DNA accessibility at the single-molecule level, helping to reveal new facets of #mtDNA regulation and compaction...

How are the hundreds of copies of mitochondrial DNA packaged in our cells? It’s a mystery because histones and chromatin factors are not in mitochondria and the high copy number presents challenges! Read what Stefan @rsisaac found in our preprint. (1/7) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to announce our newest paper published today! How do we get to accurately predicting *function* from sequence? It will require lots and lots of quantitative thermodynamic and kinetic data for lots of sequences. (1/6)! science.sciencemag.org/content/373/65… @Stanford_ChEMH @StanfordBioE

@InorgChem @ACSPublications @AmerChemSociety As an undergrad, I took a brand-new course in Organometallic Chemistry from Fred Hawthorne at UCLA (won't say when!). We had a new dry box and Schlenk line. So exciting, it got me into inorganic chemistry! TA: Bill Evans. Doesn't get much better.
