Although the mechanical response of DNA to physiological torsion and tension is well characterized, the detailed structures are not yet known. By using molecular dynamics simulations on linear DNA...
📢 Preprint alert: How the structure of linear DNA is distorted by physiological levels of torsion and tension? 🧬🧬 The answer by all-atom simulations and it is similar from what we saw on minicircles with @alicepyne 👇(1/n)

@women_in_hpc As a team leader, it is important to acknowledge problems and bias. It may be that we can do little, but it’s better than nothing. Being aware of problems, like women asking for promotions less than men, means you can support those team members and build a value-led culture.

@N8CIR are incredibly committed to #equality and #diversity in #HPC. We have a @women_in_hpc chapter and have developed a diversity checklist for recruitment to remove bias, which is now used all over the world ⬇️
