Hey chromatin folks! I am incredibly excited to share my first preprint paper and first paper from the Funabiki lab with you! "Near-atomic resolution nucleosome structures and their variations in

People often ask why structural variants (SV) are so important and why $BNGO is laser focused on revolutionizing the way they are detected in the clinic. Doesn’t the success of
