I love DNA. My research group is focused on heat shock transcription factors (mostly HSF-2) and it is just amazing stuff. When I get some higher magnification images from the confocal microscope this week (hopefully!), maybe I will post them... the SYBRgreen images would be cool to look at baked anyway... they are bright and colorful! Here is an example:


Relatively low magnification image of mouse intestine with nuclear stain SYBRgreen!

I think all of this is incredible, that's why I went into this field And this job is easily the best I have ever had!
