Some more chatter on @UltimaGenomics recently, partly to try and argue that the quality is worse than @illumina $ILMN SBS sequencing, and then take a reverse argument and say that ppmSeq has no merit. Some comments...

New blog post! "What happens when genome sequencing data is ‘too cheap to meter’?"
Some speculation on the coming changes in the genomics industry as sequencing costs resume their decline

Congratulations to @AUG_University and Praxis Genomics who completed the gap-fill process for their PLA codes for hematologic malignancy analysis by #OGM at a rate of $1,863!
This approval is an amazing step forward for reimbursement and accessibility of clinical OGM testing!
Great preparation for my first @AMIAinformatics conference listening to @FYInformatics. Insightful conversation about common multidisciplinary challenges clinical informatics harbors and also helpful career development content.
As a Bioinformatician venturing into development/engineering in a pathology setting, these challenges are unsurprisingly not foreign to me. Diagnostic testing is becoming increasingly complex, as are the interpretation of the results.
As a PhD who has worked in plant genomics & transcriptomics using NGS, I'm often told by job recruiters I need experience with human datasets. I feel as if my skills should be easily translatable, but are human datasets distinct enough to nullify my experience?

We're very excited about this search! Please retweet to help us build a robust and diverse applicant pool!
We have an exciting new tenure-track Assistant Professor position open for someone interested in studying biochemical pathways relevant to humans, plants or other organisms. Full ad and application link at careers.purdue.edu/job-invit…
Great discussion at the @FLGenomics 'Exploring the Current Sequencing Landscape' event today! Natalie Thorne (@MelbGenomics) raised a great point by describing the current state of commercialized post-sequencing analyses as 'non-modular'.

New lab with new equipment means I need new students. Thinking about grad school? Interested in plant metabolism? Let’s chat!

Priceless insight from #GenomeStartupDay. Great to hear from CEOs of companies my lab has worked with (@circulomics @PhaseGenomics) and the protocols.io long read guru himself @schwessinger. Also props to @ivanliachko for bringing 'fireside chat' to a whole new level!
Hey algae people! Trying to get long DNA for @Nanopore sequencing? Take a look at our new nuclei isolation protocol that pairs with @circulomics!

The @jwisecaver lab has arrived for #PSA2019! As you can see, I am not a fan of 6am flights.
