Fluorescence-based sorting of extracellular vesicles enables detection and omics

This paper develops a NanoFACS workflow for isolating and characterizing extracellular vesicles with high purity and RNA yield for downstream analysis.

Single-cell sequencing reveals genome streamlining and functional diversity in ecologically dominant marine protists

The paper generates single-cell genomes from marine protists to reveal genome streamlining and functional diversity in ecologically dominant species.

Y chromosome sequence and epigenomic reconstruction across human populations

The paper uses long-read sequencing to generate and compare Y chromosome assemblies across haplogroups and assesses epigenetic modifications in human populations.

A chromosome-assigned Mongolian gerbil genome with sequenced centromeres provides evidence of a new chromosome

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome of the Mongolian gerbil with sequenced centromeres, revealing new insights into centromere structure and heterochromatin distribution.

Selective single molecule sequencing and assembly of a human Y chromosome of African origin

The paper develops a method to sequence and assemble a human Y chromosome of African origin using native DNA and nanopore sequencing, achieving high continuity and enabling epigenetic modification detection.
