Particular soft spot for single cell and spatial transcriptomics and genome biology.
Good info presented by Illumina R&D folks at ASHG last week. Isoform detection in single cells pairing Illumina 3' Single Cell RNA library prep and MiSeq i100 600 cycle kits on 50M reads flow cells. NovaSeq X 600 cycle kits not far away either!

MiSeq i100 1000 cycle kits. Shipping week of 20th October. Next week!
This is going to open a lot of applications. Illumina does it again, only short read technology doing 1000 cycles.

The BEST part about 0% alcohol beer is that after 3 hours of yard work in 28deg C heat… it’s ok to drink at 11am. #peroni

I was blown away by this promo, everyone loves a bargain! Illumina NextSeq 2000 looking more attractive than ever before. Offer valid until 15th Dec 2025. bit.ly/4nBF2WW

Some very impressive numbers coming from Australian Sequencing provider AGRF Ltd. Best 25B flow cell output at over 11Tb on Illumina NovaSeq X.

I wonder what could possibly happen when the illumina marketing guy and the illumina social media guy meet up for dinner in San Diego?

Trying black coffee for early morning meetings today. Wish me luck! ☕️ #coffee #genomics #workfromhome

My #Hottest100 Australian songs ever. Yes I am old, but this is a banger of a list.

Bi-annual conference time in Japan. Wonder what has changed in #science #singlecell #cellbiology #spatial #genomics.

Out of ~75 universities I have visited. There’s no place like home! #UNSW and @ramacgenomics.bsky.social still gives me the best vibes! #Science #alumni #BABS

Heading to Japan next week and giving a lunchtime seminar at the 15th International Workshop on Advanced Genomics covering the latest from Illumina. First conference of the year!

Thankfully… my wife has just borrowed this monstrosity!
I can’t think of a thing to cook in an #AirFryer

Still a sucker for useful conference swag… #BioRad and #illumina reusable shopping bags to the rescue for fruit and veg!

Every day is Saturday at the moment.
Coffee with my wife, then lunch at the local Pho restaurant! It’s a great start to the weekend

The “heart stopper” burger. Smashed it and the heart is still ticking.

This had me seeing red today from @genomicscow.bsky.social. If I use my friend @genomics-guy.bsky.social as an example.. I'd say the optics of Gary on the publications, were always seen as favourable from both industry and academia.

The 15 minute dinner. Stock, Creamed corn, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, egg, corn flour, chicken and shallots on top. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

If you ever get the chance to holiday in New Zealand, I 💯 recommend. So many unusual things to see and do. The thermal pools/lakes/mud/geyser are amazing.

Don’t shoot the messenger here… you’ve still got >4.5 years of supply and support on the EOL instruments. There is also the standard MiSeq i100 at $49,900.

Got to see under the skin of the MiSeq i100. Amazing technology lies within. Also checked out the Illumina Protein Prep setup while it was running.

Grand tour of the inside of MiSeq i100 instruments from R&D engineers at #illumina. The future is bright with these smarter than smart people.

Work travel seems to be a feast or famine. First trip of the quarter, on the last day. Leg injury holding up so far.

The Nokia 3210 is still a thing!!!
