🧧🧧🧧🧧 So another exciting finding for the weekend before I go on vacation.

*FFPE Ligation Sequencing for ALL!*

For a long while it was thought that ligation (i.e. native DNA) sequencing on @nanoporetech.com was difficult, if not impossible.

Congrats Hasindu and Nanopore Garvan team. This is an exciting development. I remember asking myself how AS might be used when it was first released. You have truely answered this 🙌🎉
Introducing cornetto, an adaptive genome assembly paradigm using @nanoporetech.com adaptive sampling.
- greatly reduces cost per genome assembly
- reference agnostic, so works for non-humans
- assembly just using saliva
- & many more
Relies on 2 excellent software #readfish & #hifiasm.

A long time coming, but our @nanoporetech.com P2Solo is finally running. Time to dive deeper into the messy unknown, hunt down mysterious pathogens, and maybe even find some shiny new viruses. Let's do this. 🦇🐓🧪🦠🧬🔬 #Nanopore #VirusHunting #Science #OneHealth #Genomics

"right now it seems to me that the competition can do most of the things that Oxford Nanopore can"

* cough *

- minimum setup cost of less than $10,000
- minimum run cost of less than $100
- minimum turnaround time of less than 1h
- RNA methylation
- reads longer than 100kb
- sequencing in space

This is a curious one - real time hashing of raw nanopore signals, building up to a whole de-novo assembly based on the 'squiggles'. This skips basecalls entirely. What do people think about this approach?

💻🧬
search. Rawsamble enables the construction of de novo assemblies directly from raw signals without basecalling, which opens up new directions and uses for raw nanopore signal analysis. [8/8 of https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.02997v1]

That peak? The one in 1962/1963? That was when the United States of America spent 2.5% of GDP in federal dollars on SCIENCE.

That peak in spending gave us our entire economy as we currently understand it. Composites, integrated circuits, lasers, advanced fabrics, biotech, etc... Time to reinvest.
Changes in NASA's workforce, by year, since 1959. Today will mark the largest involuntary reduction in staffing since the end of Apollo. The difference is that, right now, NASA is trying to spin up a Moon program instead of end one.

This is the thing about basic science…

You never know where it will lead, and you cannot presuppose what commercial product comes out of it.

They don’t tend to award Nobel Prizes for translational science. They award them for basic, often exploratory science.
This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”
