This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating HiFi dad-a with some cutting-edge science!

Researchers @elliecat.bsky.social at UC Riverside and @scarey.bsky.social at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology are revealing parts of the Y chromosome that were previously a mystery. www.pacb.com/blog/celebra...

Meet Jonathan 🐢 the world's longest living terrestrial animal at 192 years old.

Researchers published a pre-print analyzing the DNA sequence and methylome looking for age-related changes in DNA methylation and methylation entropy. Read more about the study here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hi-C users, the wait is finally over! 🙌🏽 CiFi now enables Hi-C with #HiFisequencing. Short-read Hi-C struggles when it comes to repetitive and low-complexity regions. #PacBio HiFi rises to the challenge with better accuracy and lower input requirements. Congrats Megan and UC Davis team!
Check out our new preprint describing CiFi - a method that couples 3C and PacBio HiFi sequencing with low input requirements. We apply it to human GM12878 to better characterize chromatin across repetitive regions, as well as single insect samples (a mosquito and a Mediterranean fruit fly).
