Our new paper was just out in @MolecularCell. This demonstrates that CENP-C Oligomerization is a key step for Kinetochore/centromere assembly. Congrats Masatoshi!!

Our SPDR, Dr Chentao Wen published a new paper on “Seg2Link” in Scientific Reports.

Nagoya City University, his former affiliation, issued a press release on his research: Seg2Link: an efficient and versatile solution for semi-automatic cell segmentation in 3D image
stacks (May 22, 2023. In Japanese Only.)

We are currently seeking a data curator as Technical Staff. Please visit job opportunities to get more details.

If you are interested, please contact Dr Onami.

We look forward to you joining our laboratory!

Tadasu Nozaki (Former Graduate Student at NIG)and Prof. Kazuhiro Maeshima (NIG) et. al. together with Drs Soya Shinkai and Shuichi Onami  have found euchromatin forms condensed chromatin domains. This finding suggests an innovative model that condensed structure is the default state of chromatin.

Learn more about the study on Press Release from the National Institute of Genetics.

Check out our new paper by Dr Yusuke Azuma et al., published in Frontiers in Bioinformatics.

Yusuke Azuma et al.’s new paper is out. We quantified 4D cell morphodynamics in >50 C. elegans embryos from the two-cell stage to mid-gastrulation using image processing and systematically analyzed the morphodynamics features in the single-cell resolution. https://t.co/UNXYiLj34Q

Onami Lab is going to join a BDR affiliated graduate school programs virtual open lab program on April 8.

This is a great opportunity to learn how your students life will be at RIKEN and you can expand your career as a scientist.

If you are interested in the event, please visit at the website for BDR joint graduate school laboratory tour (in Japanese only).

Dr Onami’s talk about the global sharing of bioimaging data at MBSJ2022 is now available for the public.
Check it up at multimedia.
