Org One is a program assisting in the creation of reference genomes for endangered species - and that’s what I was referencing.

Look for Jeff Nivala’s work from the UofWashington - he’s the primary research consultant on this work as I understand this for ONT. Super exciting progress from his team!

3/ Genomes from wildlife can be T2T just 3 years after the first complete human genome in 2022. An ncredible pace of dvlpmnt and a fully local sequencing solution requiring no sample export. #democratising #genomics. #NanoporeConf🧪

2/ As national #biobanks emerge globally, we are asked often “Why save bio samples? What can you do with them?” - well, I no longer have to say we are saving them for the future. Tomorrow is here today. Nanopore-only #reference #genomes can be T2T AND in situ!🧪

This is before one plant got us. Now, I’ll use a digital zoom :) #cacti #nature #wild

One of those things has a very cute face - bottom right. This is the least scientific response to it, but I do appreciate your #virosky #bluet nevertheless!

We wrote a paper on that! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... so far, it’s been life-changing. Not the easiest learning curve, but once you get over a few bumps, it’s hard to use anything else!

Sorry :( it’s admittedly really only maybe interesting to a few people :/ sort of the lot of doctorate holders … but if this is something you really want to understand I can get you there..

Oh my gosh. You’ve ratted out my gifter big time 😂
