I could never choose a favourite snippet. But I do enjoy it when the MCs interact via snippy memos. (Like an inverted You've Got Mail.)

Congratulations to the Reyes Lab (McGill Biology) on their PNAS paper (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...)! Using single-molecule microscopy in live bacteria they show that rapid recycling of the DNA polymerase keeps DNA replication running & prevents genome instability—reshaping our view of this process.
