Catch us at a conference: @ivanliachko takes the stage at @FutureinReview on 6/1 for a panel called “Gut Feeling: Hacking Your Microbiome”.
Later that week, from 6/4 to 6/7, he’ll be on the ground at ASM Microbe 2026 in DC. Say “hey 👋” and connect for the latest in Hi-C!

The biggest sustainability challenges are rooted in biology we’re still learning to understand. Hi-C helps build better genomes and unravel microbial communities that support healthier soils, stronger crops, and more resilient ecosystems. Happy 🌎 Day from Phase Genomics.

One oat line has more structural variation than a panel of wheat lines. That finding, from the 1st chromosome-scale oat assembly, led to a 30-line hexaploid oat pangenome published in @Nature using HiFi Hi-C.

FISH finds what it's looking for, and only what it's looking for. In a new study in @AjHematologyshows, Hi-C confirmed FISH findings, plus chromothripsis, CN-LOH & complex rearrangements that FISH probes can’t pinpoint.

"A year and a half ago, we couldn't have resolved this hybrid genome."
New tech (long reads Hi-C) let researchers separate parental haplotypes in eelgrass revealing which genes drive low-light tolerance. Todd Michael (@genomeslab) breaks down how:

Phase Genomics IRL: a few days together in Portland for real-time collab & creativity. Aligning on new products, pressure-testing ideas, a little fun behind the wheel. It’s how we build even better Hi-C tools for the researchers who rely on them.
A few of our favorite moments👇

Combining @PhaseGenomics and @PacBio HiFi allowed acquisition of the complete 🦠genome.
It is composed of 1 chromosome and 2 plasmids, which are mobilome-rich, encoding prophages, an orphan CRISPR array, and complete pathways for many novel and essential cofactors, including heme
