This month’s Under the Lens discusses how recent advanced microscopy studies have provided insights into key target-search mechanisms that allow the recombinase RecA to rapidly and efficiently find homology for DNA repair.
This month’s Under the Lens discusses how recent advances in understanding the spatial integration of transcription and splicing sites have shed light on the mechanism that ensures monogenic antigen expression in trypanosomes.
This month’s Under the Lens discusses the potential of in silico feedback control applied to individual microbial cells, highlighting its use for study of single-cell dynamics and patterning behaviours.
This month’s Under the Lens discusses the application of the quantitative image analysis software BiofilmQ to understand antibiotic-induced changes in Vibrio cholerae biofilms at single-cell resolution.
This month’s Under the Lens discusses how combining cryo-electron tomography with cross-linking mass spectrometry has allowed elucidation of the mechanisms of transcription-coupled translation in bacteria.
