I hate how ONT words things. You basically have 6 sequencing runs that can have UP TO 24 samples in each run. Basically what you do is prep all the samples by amplifying 16S region, then pool and do the final adapter attachment

Is Nebraska an area of interest? Happy to collect and send them.

You can stick the tick in a ziplock bag and send it in a small padded envelope. Our website has the instructions and some pictures to show how to submit a tick through the program.

Never thought about gluing them to a postcard but that’s an interesting idea haha
