2024 Fellow @RomanBarth2 led a new study advancing our understanding of how "DNA motors" shape our genome and regulate our genes.
He led the work during his pre-Fellowship time at @tudelft For his Fellowship Placement, Roman is at the @UW We're excited to see where he takes it
DNA motors found to switch gears🕹️
Biophysicists found that #DNA motors can switch direction, contrary to what was thought to be possible. The discovery is key to understanding how these SMC motors shape our genome and regulate our genes.

Congratulations to our 2024 Fellow @RomanBarth2 and colleagues for new work that improves our understanding of chromosomes. We can’t wait to see where you take your interdisciplinary science next!
🧬It turns out that the molecular motors that make long loops in our #DNA, also put significant twists into the loops that they form. This discovery by @JanissenRichard, @RomanBarth2, @cees_dekker and @IMPvienna is now published in @ScienceAdvances.

Protein sequencing is key to understanding cellular signalling pathways and metabolic processes. In their Review, @cees_dekker et al discuss how nanopores enable single-molecule protein sequencing and the identification of post-translational modifications

I’m thrilled to be able to announce that we were granted a NWO Summit grant entitled ‘Evolving Life from Nonlife’ (EVOLF) with 40 million euro for a 10-year project aimed to cross the gap between non-life and life by assembling a living synthetic cell from lifeless biomolecules!
