We are thankful to Jay @jshendure.bsky.social for his constructive feedback, and to the funding agency @damonrunyon.org for the support. It's always fun to work with Choi, looking forward to more collaborations in the future.

Molecular recording is a exciting and rapidly evolving field. In this perspective, @choijunhong.bsky.social and I delve into the key challenges in the field and highlight a few exciting frontiers that worth more attention.

The single-molecule accessibility landscape of newly replicated mammalian chromatin By developing a long-read sequencing method to simultaneously map replication status and protein-DNA contacts in cells, Ostrowski, Yang, et al. show that newly replicated chromatin is enriched for unw...

The latest from our group, led by Megan Ostrowski and @martyyang.bsky.social, is now published in final form (www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...! Many thanks to our excellent peer reviewers for suggesting several experiments (including CAF-1 perturbation) to really improve the study =) #epigenetics

Another Monday hype! super excited to see the review + DNA Typewriter/ENGRAM got covered in this nice story.

The lives of cells, recorded - Nature Reviews Genetics Recent advances in genome engineering are enabling the recording of cellular histories into genomes, with single-cell and spatial omics technologies enabling their reconstruction into cellular lineage...

"The lives of cells, recorded"--our new review on genomic recording systems and how they can reveal the dynamics of multicellular development. A pleasure to work on this with amazing colleagues from the Allen Discovery Center for Cell Lineage Tracing.
