Biography

The Yachie laboratory is pioneering technologies for 'DNA event recording,' focusing on high-resolution molecular information from individual cells to multicellular organisms. This system enables the progressive storage of cell-embedded synthetic 'DNA tapes' for time observation. Using high-throughput DNA sequencing, the lab aims to read historical molecular and cellular data. Dr. Yachie's research integrates genome editing, cell engineering, and mouse genetics with advanced computational techniques to develop the 'Sense,' 'Write,' 'Store,' and 'Read' systems, facilitating extensive tracing of molecular cellular dynamics at high resolution.
