Terrific new feature presented by @theo.io on @pathoplexus.org called SeqSets for generating DOIs for sequence subsets used in publications, that can then be tracked for impact via CrossRef that will allow data generators to track impact! #IMMEMXiV

Impressed that this box of Cheez-It’s have a 900 year shelf life.

We’ve also heard from 10X Genomics, Ultima Genomics and Single Genomics. Now the eagerly awaited talk about Roche SBX (Nanopore expandomer) sequencing from Bernd Timmerman. Showing we’ve come a long way from the early days of NGS. I still have fond memories of 454.

Our second keynote was @minomatt.bsky.social describing recent work on intra-operative real time brain tumour classification using Nanopore whole genome sequencing incorporating methylation - huge potential for improving time to diagnosis and optimising treatment pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40392954/

Fabulous kick off talk at #GenomeScience25 from @matthewcobb.bsky.social discussing just a few of Francis Crick’s great conceptual leaps (and some less stellar moments) in the understanding of molecular biology and evolution as outlined in his new biography: get it on the Xmas list amzn.eu/d/fIPxARk

We also are working with George Githinji at the KWTRP KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme in Kenya developing local bioinformatics solutions for rapid and reliable genome sequencing.

We are continuing to build on our productive training collaboration with WACCBIP at the University of Ghana with Gordon Awandare who is running our West African hub-and-spoke training network:

We have a widened project team from ARTIC1 including new co-investigators in Africa: @labgenpath.bsky.social (INRB, DRC - PI: Placide Mbala) who helping developing metagenomic surveillance approaches and use cases for detecting "Disease X"

After editing, this very short letter to New Scientist is even shorter now. But I think it gets the point across! @faecalmatters.bsky.social

It's the final day of Genome Science 2024! It's been a really nice meeting and summer has also decided to finally arrive. Our first of the final two keynotes is Deb Williamson from UKHSA discussing linking pathogen genomics to diagnostics.

Next up is Shawn Levy (Element Bio) discussing the Aviti platform: intriguingly positioned sequencing platform that is very cost competitive: (image from @omicsomics.bsky.social) omicsomics.blogspot.com/2024/02/post...

Next up Richard Durbin from Cambridge talking about latest data from the Darwin Tree of Life project - reasonable to expect >1M species genomes (of total 1.8M named eukaryotes) in next 10 years:
