Really cool stuff from Raphael Townshend and the team at Stanford AI Lab - one step closer to understanding the code that defines higher order RNA structure! Check it out here: science.sciencemag.org/content/373/65…

Curious to know how the genome editor Cas9 unwinds DNA to "read" it? Check out this great story by Josh Cofsky from the Doudna Lab. When we saw the first cryo-EM maps Josh said: "WOW the DNA is like REALLY bent. This is what comes to mind when I'm thinking about the mechanism:"

Ever wondered where Cas9 came from? Audrey Lapinaite and I wrote a 'First Cut' for The CRISPR Journal describing the epic work by Han Altae-Tran and colleagues on the origins of Cas9. Our summary: liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/cr… The epic paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Phage be like👇

Coot 1 is out and it’s cooler than ever!🎉 #ccp4 ✅ the GUI has been re-implemented ✅ the graphics has significantly improved, you can now export maps and models as glTF files to be used in #Blender3d and other 3D software. ✅ coot is now a module to be imported in Python 3
