Journal Checker Tool: Check which publishing options are supported by your funder’s OA policy | JCT enables researchers to check whether they can comply with their funders Plan S aligned OA policy based on the journal, the funder and the institution affiliated with the research to be published.

It is becoming increasingly confusing to work out where to publish if you want to comply with your funders OA policy (or with your own principles).

This tool is very helpful

Four years ago today, I published my 1st cookbook with simple tweet-length recipes, a family memoir, and an exploration of the emotional resonance of food.
It sold >1000 copies, and combined with it's sequel as 'Tw-Eat Together', won a Gourmand World Cookbook Award.

ChIP-DIP maps binding of hundreds of proteins to DNA simultaneously and identifies diverse gene regulatory elements - Nature Genetics ChIP-DIP (ChIP done in parallel) is a highly multiplex assay for protein–DNA binding, scalable to hundreds of proteins including modified histones, chromatin regulators and transcription factors, offe...

Gene regulation involves thousands of proteins that bind DNA, yet comprehensively mapping these is challenging. Our paper in Nature Genetics describes ChIP-DIP, a method for genome-wide mapping of hundreds of DNA-protein interactions in a single experiment.
