Publication spotlight: HiFi sequencing enables haplotype-specific chromatin mapping from single cells using DAF-seq - PacBio This publication spotlight highlights a recent paper that represents a major methodological advance in single-cell epigenomics.

DAF-seq uses #PacBio HiFi sequencing to map chromatin at single-cell, single-molecule, and single-haplotype resolution. Researchers uncover how transcription factors interact on DNA and link sequence changes to regulatory effects.
