The role of subunit Rtt102 in SWI/SNF remodelers
Each cell contains a copy of one’s genome encoded in the form of a double-stranded DNA molecule. If laid out in a linear fashion, it would reach several feet in length.
Compact Integrated X-ray Beam Position and Flux Monitor
We have developed a device that combines two functionalities in a compact assembly to measure simultaneously the X-ray beam position and intensity.
