It's interesting that @roundearth (Google DevRel/WP core) called out the Unami install profile included in core at #DrupalCon while @Discover is helping Drupal fund the DA Distribution Modernization Initiative.

New modality drugs are making it to market at an increasing clip. ~30 in last 5 years, ~50 in registrational trials. Different factors for different modalities, but some of the hurdles are the same. @biocentury. biocentury.com/article/63469…

Some news for my fellow #genome and #microbiology tweeps. We have developed a new sample storage reagent that greatly improves hmwDNA recovery yield and size from biological samples. Samples can be stored for months without refrigeration. Early-access testing happening now. DM me

The “rosetta stone” of translational science. Our Hi-C kit aided researchers from @otago & @AucklandUni to conduct long-range sequencing on the apple sister species, Gillenia trifoliata—a phylogenetically important Rosaceae species. #genome hubs.la/H0-F-6Z0

NIH RADx initiative expands COVID-19 testing innovation for additional types of rapid tests

The home and point-of-care testing platforms target the need for high-performance, low-cost home tests and point-of-care tests that can potentially detect multiple respiratory infections.

We recently announced a new tool for the discovery of #virus genomes from #microbiome samples. This article briefly describes what it does and why it's important.
