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.

Excited to share our new paper @ScienceAdvances:https://t.co/0LVVQy2dbF
Dual-color imaging of two neighbor nucleosomes reveals that nucleosomes in euchromatin form condensed domains with ~150 nm diameter. Nucleosomes locally fluctuate in the condensed domain like a liquid. 1/ pic.twitter.com/4SLE0YLeXG

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.

Posters and lightning talks from Onami lab at the Symposium of Database Togo (Integration) 2022 hosted by JST- NBDC are now open for public.
Dr Onami’s talk on the establishment of a global data sharing system for bio-imaging data will be available soon.

Please check out multimedia or the Symposium of Database Togo (Integration) 2022 website.
