Single-cell GET-seq (scGET-seq) enables the probing of compacted as well as accessible chromatin in single cells, covering a greater portion of the genome, which provides insights into genomic and epigenetic dynamics.
Rigorous record-keeping and quality control are required to ensure the quality, reproducibility and value of imaging data. The 4DN Initiative and BINA here propose light Microscopy Metadata Specifications that extend the OME Data Model, scale with experimental intent and complexity, and make it possible for scientists to create comprehensive records of imaging experiments.
Researchers identified a single-effector Cas, Cas7-11, that architecturally diverges from previous CRISPR single- or multi-component systems and can possess RNA knockdown activity without detectable collateral activity in mammalian cells.
The proliferation of versatile open software and hardware for microscopy is helping to democratize biological imaging for both current and aspiring scientists.
