Today was one of those truly amazing days that don't come alone to often. We took delivery of our @illumina #NovaSeqX plus. We look forward to bringing faster, better, cheaper sequencing to all our collaborators/clients from around the world, serving scientists in @AgriLife @TAMU @tamusystem, and supporting other critical research in 45 countries for scientist across the land. And in the immortal words of George Strait, ‘Xs live in TEXAS.’ 🤠🎶youtu.be/gAzcHe8K8G4?t=… @AgriLife @TAMU

MAQC project, I picked the brain slices! (Ambion FirstChoice® Human Brain Reference RNA) thermofisher.com/us/en/home/ref…

Does my heart good to see that work I was lucky enough to be a part of is still up on @thermofisher website after all these years. thermofisher.com/us/en/home/ref…

For those using AI to post, especially over on @LinkedIn. Its backward to expect the reader to spend more time consuming the post then you did generating it.

@OmicsOmicsBlog Wow, thanks Keith, looking great! One of your fans sent me this

This year at #nanoporeconf I’m sporting this wonderful hat gifted me by @BioMath Happy to talk long read sequencing, autonomous labs & cloud labs - or anything else

We are hiring! Looking for new Business Coordinator. tamus.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/AgriLife…

@s86CoffeeDev No ticks, although I'm dealing with Chigger bits after mowing in that area.

@BioMath I see ticks and sausage

Life is good.

Happy DNA Day!

National DNA Day🧬 Celebrating the global leaders advancing genome science and driving breakthroughs across fields. At AGBT, we support this progress through our meetings, bringing scientists together to connect, collaborate, and innovate. #DNADay #genomics

@gbw42 @OmicsOmicsBlog @TheODINInc Nice

@OmicsOmicsBlog @TheODINInc I would also like to know how they're promising wheat to 30x for $599.

We just launched full genome sequencing for $599. Not a panel. Not a fraction. All 3 billion base pairs. 30× coverage. This changes what “DNA testing” actually means. 🧵

@illumina Greatly looking forward to V4.5.

With DRAGEN v4.5, researchers can uncover more with every sequencing run. Built for researchers in rare disease and precision oncology, v4.5 improves variant calling accuracy across challenging sample types and extends insights into difficult-to-map regions of the genome, delivering precision and scalability – even for some of the most ambitious research demands. Explore what's new in DRAGEN v4.5: bit.ly/4epJlmb #Genomics #RareDisease #Multiomics

@AntoBeck @gbw42 @GenomicsCow Looking forward to #AGBTGM26 and #AGBTAG26 in April! All hail Agrigenomics!

See y'all in Florida April 4-7th, 2027 next year at #AGBTAG26.

🐎One graph to herd them all, one graph to align them, one graph to include all breeds and in the pangenome bind them. This pre-con workshop brought pangenomes into practice. Using the equine pangenome, participants explored what’s next in agriculture. #AGBTAg26 #AgGenomics

I don’t have an Artemis II hat yet, so falling back on the previous dramatic lunar flyby via free return trajectory crewed mission as my #AGBTAg26 hat Use it to find or evade me

@OmicsOmicsBlog Weather looks good for Phoenix. weather.com/weather/tenday…

New England is about 30 degrees C from Phoenix! #AGBTAg26 Still snow on Pat’s Peak ski trails, though closed for season

@bioinformer Wow, its interesting even from the start bioinformatics doesn't get the respect it deserves. "visiting scientist, biologist on leave, staff member of associate lab. No full time jobs, few mouths to two years...

One of the earliest mentions of bioinformaticians as a profession... from William Goad's 1978 proposal to create the Los Alamos DNA Data Bank. This was funded and the "data bank" was created in 1979 - and later became GenBank in 1982. #science #history #genomics #bioinformatics
