Got a new office phone! 😂 not really this old phone hooks to a bluetooth hud that let’s me use this old phone with my cell phone. A dial tone and everything!

We just got a physical proofs back from @bicyclecards.bsky.social. We should have TXGEN DNA playing card decks in a few weeks! Email us if you'd like a deck at TxGen@ag.tamu.edu, still working on logistics.

Thanks for all the help from @agrilife.bsky.social marketing for their design support.

Thanks, he was a 12 year old Great Dane... so I was thrilled to have him around this long. One of the only things I have always insisted on in my lab is all our servers are named after my dogs. So I get to hear what "Jack" is up to going forward ;)

We are not raising prices! While others adjust pricing due to tariff surcharges, we have your back.
Any quotes issued this summer will be honored for at least 180 days. We will also do our best to honor any quote that is part of a grant written this summer, regardless of when those funds come in.

Whoop! Look who I ran into at @TAMU
core lab open house. If you need help with plant transformation email Marco Molina at marco.molina@tamu.edu and he can take care of your transformation needs. He also takes projects outside TAMU.

Not saying this is the new Roche SBX sequencing system box. But I am saying it should be 😎 #AGBT25

Still holding out hope for a 2X250 1.5B FC announcement from @illumina for #NovaSeqX at #AGBT25 @AGBT. Yes, I'm an eternal optimist.

Had the privilege of speaking about the new @RevvityLifeSci
Agrigenomics DNA Prep Kit this morning! We were early testers & were highly impressed. The 1,537+ UDI have been a game-changer for our high-throughput, cost-effective WGS genotyping.

Spike, our Illumina X+ is getting upgraded today! Looking forward to seeing the performance increases I am seeing from other labs.

Make sure to check out @denovix.bsky.social at #PAG32. Not sure how they make any money ours has been running for over 10 yrs without a hint of trouble and I expect will be using it for the next 20 years. And cool pant job

Got to checkout the new desktop long read sequencer by @pacbio.bsky.social Very attractive pricing for the box and reagents

#1 lab rule, machines work on the weekends, we do not. #2 rule, machines work over winter break, we do not. See y'all next year!

Lab Christmas Fun! This is my favorite week of the year, that final push to get everything done before heading out for holiday vacation at the university closes down. Our goal every year is to fully load the sequencers as we head out the door on that last day before the Holiday starts.

The lab loaded up "Spike" our @Illumina X plus and headed out for vacation. See you in December.

Happy Thanksgiving!
