The cost of effective Covid-19 testing can run to $100 or more, as Omicron variant cases surge and the Biden administration and local officials hurry to distribute more free tests wsj.com/articles/some-…

@TisdaleLab I feel your pain. Many really good ideas occur to multiple investigators. It winds up being a foot race with handicaps to many if not all in the race. My experience has been the powerhouse labs are ahead by a year or more of the published literature in many cases. System not fair

@mattloose What is a universal molecular identifier?

New version of 1D^2 coming. Algorithmic improvements using raw data for accuracy with a less than 1% error. 60% pairing efficiency. Then a umi version coming. #ukgs18

When researchers transferred molecules from the brain cells of trained snails to untrained snails, the animals behaved as if they remembered the trained snails’ experiences nyti.ms/2L3eL1Y

Great get together of Genome Scientists at UC Santa Cruz. Long live long reads and assembly of difficult sequences
