Delighted to share that my manuscript of "Mechanism of single-stranded DNA annealing by RAD52-RPA complex" is now in Nature!
We are very excited today to share our work in @Nature defining the mechanism of human RAD52 mediated single-stranded DNA annealing in cooperation with replication protein A (RPA) nature.com/articles/s41586-0…. Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️ (1/8)

We awarded our annual Translation Prize last night, recognising researchers at the Crick who are applying their research in a real-world setting.
Congratulations to our winner Anaid Benitez, runner-up Andreia Bernardo and all the nominees! 🏆🎉crick.ac.uk/news/2023-10-13_…

A recent publication on Nature showed new DNA repair mechanism uncovered by the @Francis Crick Institute with C-Trap, proving RAD51 paralogs as crucial as the BRCA2 pathway in cancer prevention. Learn more about it: bit.ly/3DukiLq

In a collaboration between @SCWestLab and @BoultonLab, published in @Nature, researchers made key findings about a protein complex needed to repair damaged DNA and protect against cancer, which could one day help develop better targeted cancer treatments.

A breakthrough in DNA repair research! @SimonBoulton and @StephenWest at @TheCrick has used #C-Trap technology to explore the BCDX2 complex. This could lead to new therapeutic strategies for diseases linked to RAD51 paralog complex mutations. Check here: go.nature.com/3PoCTzC
