Working with @sedlazeck.bsky.social and his group on exploring the utility of Constellation has been amazing. So happy to see this preprint out!

Working on Constellation mapped reads technology has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had as a scientist so far. So excited to see this animation describing how it works.

The Genome Informatics team is hiring! We are a smart, fun, and creative team that is working on the cutting edge of bioinformatics, including Constellation read mapping, an exciting new technology from Illumina enabling long range information from short reads. Also, Vitor is an awesome manager :-)

I am incredibly proud of the work being done by the bioinformatics and assay team to enable Constellation mapped read technology. I feel very fortunate to work with such bright and talented people :-)
