cryo-electron microscopy
Berkeley Lab researchers led by Eva Nogales used a combination of cryo-electron microscopy and reconstituted versions of the
transcription pre-initiation complex to produce a step-by-step visualization of how a complex of biomolecules is able to read the human genome one gene at a time. (Video from Yuan He and Eva Nogales)
