Journal cover merges art and science

The front cover of the April 15, 2023 issue of the Journal of Molecular Biology features the work of the Dr. Todd Washington.  Drawn by Dr. Maria Spies, the cover refers to the article in Volume 435, Issue 4, 28 February 2023, 167946 by Ling et al. titled "Fork-remodeling helicase Rad5 preferentially reverses replication forms with gaps in the leading strand." The illustration highlights the work carried out by Justin Ling on the mechanism by which a DNA motor Rad5 recognizes, and processes stalled DNA replication forks. 

Congratulations to the Washington laboratory and Maria Spies on some beautiful work!
