Supersize the Cell: unlocking the secrets of the genome through expansion microscopy

The ability to turn genes on or off is central to the diversity we see in cells, individuals, and even in terms of health and disease. This process, known as gene transcription, involves converting the information stored in our DNA into a carbon copy called RNA. Until recently, scientists have relied on inaccurate illustrations and … Read more
