Congratulations to the Reyes Lab (McGill Biology) on their PNAS paper (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...)! Using single-molecule microscopy in live bacteria they show that rapid recycling of the DNA polymerase keeps DNA replication running & prevents genome instability—reshaping our view of this process.
Genome integrity relies on rapid recycling of DNA Pol III in bacteria | PNAS
DNA replication requires precise coordination between DNA unwinding and DNA synthesis.
In all domains of life, protein–protein interactions at the ...

#Driftwood as #habitat: decomposer species in this marine/brackish habitat include #isopods (sea slater, Sphaeroma serratum) and talitrid #amphipods.
Munching through the wood they create a system of holes and tunnels alike a Swiss cheese.

The great Sally Otto and I are hosting a series of interviews called “Reflections on the history of modeling and theory”, as part of @smtpb.bsky.social. First one drops next week, with Simon Levin. Tune in for great stories, some pearls of wisdom, and the long view on modeling and theory in biology.
Sally Otto (UBC) & @jpodwyer.bsky.social (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) interview Simon Levin, James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. Premiering April 14th, 10 AM on SMTPB YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TpJ...

The different shapes of corals can be studied by a multidisciplinary approach useful to understand how reef structures grow and change, and how can be restored.
