How do plants 'breathe' underwater? 🌊 ERC grantee Jan de Vries Uni Göttingen sequenced the genome from aquatic plants called #Quillwort,enlarging our understanding of how they compete for carbon dioxide underwater. Read more about his research 👉 bit.ly/3n4aRuw

Accuracy often gets a lot of attention when talking about the most recent release of Oxford Nanopore chemistry. However, I think it is a game changer that now only 5 fmol of DNA is loaded onto the flowcell. For 10 kb DNA fragments that is down to 31 ng!!!

Profs Joseph Noel + Todd Michael are showing how their research will help build a roadmap to preserve & restore wetlands around the world, using native plants that can withstand current and future climate conditions. Spectrum News 1 SoCal spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/new…

Took me about 10 #fish #genomes to get dialed in but finally making some ultra long dna and libraries — latest 83 kb N50 on #promethion Oxford Nanopore

Harnessing Plants Initiative: keys to carbon drawdown and storage #AGBTAG22 Salk Institute AGBT Meeting … deep roots, bigger roots, and more recalcitrant carbon rich polymers

Lots of great comparative genomics tools on display by ⁦Michael Schatz⁩ —> also great to see a commitment to a deployment of tools to biologists via galaxy⁩ #AGBTAG22 ⁦AGBT Meeting⁩

Extreme field biology: miniaturised equipment for DNA extraction, sequencing and analysis in the wild (rdcu.be/cK7hP)

Kit 14 will allow users to tune their accuracy & output needs by modifying run conditions in the software. Early work has shown 99.6% raw read accuracy can be achieved at 28 degrees. At 34 degrees, 99.3% is possible whilst generating a high yield. Watch: bit.ly/3k2AR7n

Our take on r10 nanopore sequencing for bacterial genome assembly. Comparing r9.4.1, r10.3, r10.4, and illumina. Including HAC, SUP and DUPLEX basecalling. DUPLEX could replace hybrid assemblies, but yields need to improve. With @NicStoesser and ModMedMicro

A thread about using color as a design tool in science presentations. Color is a great tool to separate different categories of information, to highlight information, or to establish an emotional tone. 🧵1/20

Awesome time at Salk and collecting Welwitschia at The Huntington with @jleebensmack Michael Lab. More sex chromosomes !

If you do #pangenomes check out this new tool PanKmer led by @ScienceGuyTony from Michael Lab Salk Institute really awesome to see this applied to many large datasets across different species so far!! #genomics

Happy #420, today we release 22 pairs of high-quality chromosome resolved haploid #Cannabis #genomes (10 USDA lines) available to researchers through GRIN. All assemblies include gene models & repeat annotations Salk Institute, …ub.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cannabis_sativ…
