Molecular basis of influenza ribonucleoprotein complex assembly and processive RNA synthesis
Influenza viruses replicate and transcribe their genome in the context of a conserved ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex. By integrating cryo–electron microscopy single-particle analysis and cryo–electro...

Exciting update on the CryoET Data Portal! A new annotation set from Mart Last & team is now live. They’ve doubled available annotations with >1,800 tomograms of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii which now have almost fully dense labels, and all can be visualized in the browser using Neuroglancer.

Thrilled to share that our work with the Ben Black Lab, led by a co-mentored star MD/PhD student Katie Kixmoeller, now is formally published! We used cryo-ET to study kinetochore features in human mitotic chromosomes. 🧬🔬❄️
