King January 23, 2026 123 (4) e2406949123 https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2406949123 Significance The human topoisomerase IIIα–RMI1–RMI2 complex (TRR) is important for resolving entangled DNA structures known as ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs) during mitosis. Recent evidence suggests that this may involve the relaxation of negative

A UCL-led team has developed an AI tool to understand antibody assembly in the human body, speeding therapeutic antibody design and revealing new insights into B-cell maturation and immune responses. Researchers have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool, ImmunoMatch, that can predict which antibody components naturally pair together. This advance can significantly accelerate antibody-based drug

Date: November 24th, 2025 Time: 1300-1400 hrs Location: AZ Young LT, Anatomy building Title: ‘The Mechanism and Origin of RNA-Guided Genome Editing in the Ciliate Oxytricha’ Abstract. Oxytricha is a single-celled eukaryote with multiple nuclei and two distinct nuclear genomes. In a feat of natural genome engineering, massive DNA rearrangements rebuild a product somatic genome from a much larger, precursor germline genome,
