yesterday to wake up to the news that the Nobel Prize in Chemistry had been awarded to Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank, and Richard Henderson for their seminal developments in cryo-electron microscopy (better known as cryo-EM) which now enable high-resolution biomolecule structure determination. This is a technique we have been watching closely since 2013, when the first papers (including one of our own) realizing the capability of near-atomic-resolution structure determination with cryo-EM were published.  <a href="/methagora/2017/10/a-celebration-of-cryo-em.html#more-3193" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div> <div class="wpn-entry-meta"><div class="wpn-tags-list standard-teaser cleared"><h3>Tags:</h3><ul class="tags"><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tag/chemistry" rel="tag">chemistry</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tag/method-development" rel="tag">method development</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tag/nobel-prize" rel="tag">nobel prize</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tag/proteins" rel="tag">proteins</a></li></ul></div> <aside> <div class="article-tools cleared"> <h2 class="hidden">Article tools</h2> <ul id="wpn-share-post-3193" class="wpn-entry-user-actions"> <li class="wpn-entry-comment-link"><a class="comments-link" href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/2017/10/a-celebration-of-cryo-em.html#respond" title="Comment on A celebration of cryo-EM">add a comment</a></li> <li class="sendtofriend"><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tell-a-friend?id=3193">Email</a></li> <li class="wpn-share-bookmark"> <h3 class="toggle-bookmarking-links">Share/bookmark</h3> <div id="bookmarking-links" class="bookmarking-popup"> <ul class="bookmarking" id="wpn-share-post-3193"> <li class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2017%2F10%2Fa-celebration-of-cryo-em.html">Facebook</a></li> <li class="twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/?status=A+celebration+of+cryo-EM+https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2017%2F10%2Fa-celebration-of-cryo-em.html">Twitter</a></li> <li class="delicious"><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2017%2F10%2Fa-celebration-of-cryo-em.html&title=A+celebration+of+cryo-EM">Delicious</a></li> <li class="digg"><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2017%2F10%2Fa-celebration-of-cryo-em.html&title=A+celebration+of+cryo-EM">Digg</a></li> <li class="googleplus"><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2017%2F10%2Fa-celebration-of-cryo-em.html">Google+</a></li> <li class="linkedin"><a href="http://linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2017%2F10%2Fa-celebration-of-cryo-em.html&title=A+celebration+of+cryo-EM">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="reddit"><a href="http://reddit.com/s/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2017%2F10%2Fa-celebration-of-cryo-em.html">Reddit</a></li> <li class="stumbleupon"><a href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2017%2F10%2Fa-celebration-of-cryo-em.html&title=A+celebration+of+cryo-EM">StumbleUpon</a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </aside> </div> </div> </article> <article> <div id="wpn-post-3091" class="hentry wpn-post wpn-publish wpn-post-3 wpn-odd wpn-author-vivien-marx-2 wpn-has-excerpt wpn-category-bioinformatics-2 wpn-category-biophysics wpn-category-general-interest wpn-category-this-and-that cleared"> <p class="wpn-dateline"><time datetime="2017-07-31T13:08:44-05:00" pubdate><span class="published"><abbr class="value" title="2017-07-31">31 Jul 2017 </abbr>|<abbr class="value" title="2017-07-31"> 1:08 PM</abbr></span></time></p><h2 class='wpn-post-title entry-title article-heading secondary-heading'><a href='https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/2017/07/xfel-projects-tools-data-portals.html'>XFEL projects, tools, data portals</a></h2> <p class="wpn-byline">Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/author/vivien-marx-2" title="Vivien Marx">Vivien Marx</a></span><span class="divider"> | </span><span class="category"><span class="before">Categories: </span><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/category/bioinformatics-2" rel="tag">Bioinformatics</a>, <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/category/biophysics" rel="tag">Biophysics</a>, <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/category/general-interest" rel="tag">General Interest</a>, <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/category/this-and-that" rel="tag">This and That</a></span></p> <div class="wpn-entry-summary"> <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/2017/07/xfel-projects-tools-data-portals.html" title="XFEL projects, tools, data portals"><img src="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/files/2017/08/EuXFEL_first-beam_test1-150x150.jpeg" alt="Earlier this year, the EuXFEL’s first laser beam reached the ‘hutch’." class="thumbnail " width="150" /></a><p>As of September 1, the European X-ray free-electron laser (EuXFEL) is ready for the research community’s experiments;

They might ask for example: are there glycosyltransferases that are expressed in liver but not in the heart, or, which ones are overexpressed by a factor of three in more than two cancers. Such questions require infrastructure building, he says, because right now there is no mechanism to allow such queries. But he and others are building such capabilities. Mazumder along with William York at the University of Georgia are starting to build a glycoscience informatics portal.  <a

is all in a day’s work in the lab. Building instruments from scratch, however, is a task more typical for physicists who might 3D print or machine the parts they need and then assemble them into the instrument they want. They might construct an instrument for a specific experiment or develop a design that helps hundreds of labs. That model could go on to be modified and hacked in a variety of ways.  <a href="/methagora/2016/12/building-openspim-systems.html#more-2717" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div> <div class="wpn-entry-meta"><div class="wpn-tags-list standard-teaser cleared"><h3>Tags:</h3><ul class="tags"><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tag/light-sheet-microscopy" rel="tag">light-sheet microscopy</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tag/method-development" rel="tag">method development</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tag/open-source-hardware" rel="tag">Open-source hardware</a></li><li><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tag/open-spim" rel="tag">Open-SPIM</a></li></ul></div> <aside> <div class="article-tools cleared"> <h2 class="hidden">Article tools</h2> <ul id="wpn-share-post-2717" class="wpn-entry-user-actions"> <li class="wpn-entry-comment-link"><a class="comments-link" href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/2016/12/building-openspim-systems.html#respond" title="Comment on Building OpenSPIM systems">add a comment</a></li> <li class="sendtofriend"><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/tell-a-friend?id=2717">Email</a></li> <li class="wpn-share-bookmark"> <h3 class="toggle-bookmarking-links">Share/bookmark</h3> <div id="bookmarking-links" class="bookmarking-popup"> <ul class="bookmarking" id="wpn-share-post-2717"> <li class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F12%2Fbuilding-openspim-systems.html">Facebook</a></li> <li class="twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/?status=Building+OpenSPIM+systems+https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F12%2Fbuilding-openspim-systems.html">Twitter</a></li> <li class="delicious"><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F12%2Fbuilding-openspim-systems.html&title=Building+OpenSPIM+systems">Delicious</a></li> <li class="digg"><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F12%2Fbuilding-openspim-systems.html&title=Building+OpenSPIM+systems">Digg</a></li> <li class="googleplus"><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F12%2Fbuilding-openspim-systems.html">Google+</a></li> <li class="linkedin"><a href="http://linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F12%2Fbuilding-openspim-systems.html&title=Building+OpenSPIM+systems">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="reddit"><a href="http://reddit.com/s/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F12%2Fbuilding-openspim-systems.html">Reddit</a></li> <li class="stumbleupon"><a href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fmethagora%2F2016%2F12%2Fbuilding-openspim-systems.html&title=Building+OpenSPIM+systems">StumbleUpon</a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </aside> </div> </div> </article> <article> <div id="wpn-post-2329" class="hentry wpn-post wpn-publish wpn-post-7 wpn-odd wpn-author-nicole-rusk wpn-has-excerpt wpn-category-editorials wpn-category-general-interest cleared"> <p class="wpn-dateline"><time datetime="2015-08-28T12:00:26-05:00" pubdate><span class="published"><abbr class="value" title="2015-08-28">28 Aug 2015 </abbr>|<abbr class="value" title="2015-08-28"> 12:00 PM</abbr></span></time></p><h2 class='wpn-post-title entry-title article-heading secondary-heading'><a href='https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/2015/08/diy-biolabs-and-why-they-matter.html'>DIY Biolabs – and why they matter</a></h2> <p class="wpn-byline">Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/author/nicole-rusk" title="Nicole Rusk">Nicole Rusk</a></span><span class="divider"> | </span><span class="category"><span class="before">Categories: </span><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/category/editorials" rel="tag">Editorials</a>, <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/methagora/category/general-interest" rel="tag">General Interest</a></span></p> <div class="wpn-entry-summary"> <p>When proponents of Do-it-yourself Biology explain their motivation for getting involved in the movement they often resort to colorful imagery. Take for example Patrick D’haeseleer who helps organize the Counter Culture Labs in the San Francisco Bay Area. He asks, “When the first village tamed fire, the neighboring village was freaking out. Should only the village elders be allowed to make fire or should we teach everybody?” “Any new technology has risk, but it behooves us to have all citizens know how these technologies work and what the risks are. “ he continues, “ the technology needs to be democratized because it will dominate the 21th century.”  <a
