For it to work you need high molecular weight DNA going in. But it is a very easy prep, just load DNA on the cartridge, hope the workflow gets deployed to the Dragen appliances on the NovaSeq X

Lots of very good treatments available today. Try to get to a center with a myeloma specialist if possible. Easiest suggestion without knowing location is to find the closest NCI designated comprehensive cancer center. The @imfmyeloma.bsky.social and @themmrf.bsky.social have good resources

Absolutely agree and you started with one of my pet peeves of the random XY distribution that is clearly BS and gets a good R2 or even worse 0.33 but with some damn pValue < 0.05 that gets a random paint splatter in a published paper as biological truth

Thank you Tommy!
The link you gave is good but points to a 2yr old rendering. This one uses recent versions of R and all packages and has all the latest typo fixes:

Hard day I suspect. If that ends up being the diagnosis make sure to find a reputable myeloma center, outcomes are so much better now overall but management and outcomes are better in centers with disease experts
