Trying a slightly new model (for us at least) of #openscience. With @ronanchaligne.bsky.social and @karolisk.bsky.social, we pitted 10x Genomics Chromium GEM-X against Illumina PIPseq V head-to-head to understand these two platforms for single-cell genomics. Some thoughts off the bleeding edge: /1

Has anyone tried miniaturizing ONT's native barcoding ligation prep? If so: how low did you go?

That thing where you think DOGE has screwed up NCBI BLAST but it was just your browser cache needing to be cleared

That thing where you're having a quiet Monday morning only to realize Mail is not syncing properly with the Exchange server...

I got my wish! Illumina is coming out with 1.5B 2x300 on the X. NOW 💯 of projects are on the X. Full conversion!

Excited for AGBT's 25th anniversary! 🎉 I’m honored to join this wrap-up panel —always a highlight with great insights & discussions on the latest in genomics. Looking forward to catching up with friends & seeing what’s next for genomics! #AGBT25 #Genomics www.linkedin.com/posts/charli...

Excited to be part of this panel once again! I am truly honored to join my genomics idols, Jasmine Plummer, Jessica Nordlund, and Charlie Johnson, as we analyze and discuss the highlights from #AGBT2025 @agbt . Looking forward to an engaging conversation! www.genengnews.com/multimedia/g...

What is Gen Z's favorite PCR plate type? Skrrrt-ed

If we're gonna audit the government and freeze the NSF and damage science funding, could we also maybe audit all the failed military projects that cost us tens of thousands of DEI programs worth of losses per project? Can we audit the billions that go missing too? Audit the government...FULLY

Is Ultima Genomics the ultimate genomics solution? Cool to see the sequencers (they insist on calling them tools) and mirror-finish sequencing wafers in action.

Here's a blue sky question: Assuming you could get RNA-seq data back within 4 weeks at $100/sample, would you pay extra if you got data back within 1 week of submission? If 'Yes': what would your breakpoint be? $150/$200/"Shut up and take my money"?

Nice way to get your beak wet using immunoarrays for proteomics

Every PI should gift their phd students a @nanoporetech.com P2S starter pack before it goes from ~10k USD to 28k$ (January 29). What amazing research project would you do with 8 promethion flowcells? 🎁🧬🚀

Double trouble in OKC now.
