New research in Cell finds that the rate of synthesis for leading and lagging strand DNA polymerases are uncoordinated and can vary up to 10-fold. Furthermore, when DNA polymerase activity is paused, the rate of DNA unwinding by helicase drops by ~80% to allow for recoupling. Imaging was performed using a Nikon TE2000-U with 100x (NA 1.49) TIRF objective.

A new method published in Biophysical Journal tackles one of the most pervasive issues in super-resolution microscopy – 3D drift correction. The z-position of fiducial markers is jointly determined by spot width without the need for additional optics or imaging multiple planes.

New research in Nature shows that nucleotide repeat expansion disorders, such as ALS, require a certain number of repeats before transcripts form foci in the nucleus, with in vitro experiments showing that multivalent base-paring can lead to gelation of RNA.
Imaging was performed using a Nikon Ti-E inverted research microscope with Yokogawa X1 spinning disk.

Nikon's recently introduced a new 100x silicone immersion objective (NA = 1.35) for super-resolution and multi-modal microscopy of thick specimens. The CFI SR HP Plan Apochromat Lambda S 100XC Sil objective and silicone immersion medium enable super-resolution imaging of thick specimens and offers correlative imaging capabilities.
