My journey with @nanopore began in 2018 - really glad to have stuck it out till today, for faster and more reliable pores/enzymes. Here to see how the latest tech can impact #conservation #genomics.

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!

1/ But there’s just no doubt - the future of biobanking and de novo genome sequencing lies in a single (higher throughput) flowcell running ULK and pore-C together + hifiasm + dorado polish + teloseq! #oneflowcell #onegenome #orgone #NanoporeConf

I’ve waffled on whether to dive into adaptive sampling or not- but reinspired today to give it a shot #NanoporeConf

🤯🤯🤯 PEARL is here. #Nanoporeconf The applications are astounding - how will this change what we know of nonhuman biology?

Peptides, barcoded, multiplexed, sensitively detected with relative abundance in a pore. This is really happening. #Nanoporeconf #unbelievable WITH PTMs. Almost nothing else is left to do - what a moment! @nanopore

Genomes at a fraction of the cost? Ira Deveson is speaking at #nanoporeconf to share their method, Cornetto, which has the potential to increase accessibility to sequencing human & other vertebrates' genomes due to its lower cost than existing methods. https://t.co/mVmbPuwvAz

Initial release of Pomfret for methylation assisted phase block joining for more contiguous phased assemblies without any additional library prep from @nanopore data. Such amazing work from @0xfxfxf ! #NanoporeConf https://t.co/7viZhUwt2a

Ok. 🤯🤯🤯 It’s not here yet, but it will be. 🧪#consgen is never going to be the same - this doesn’t only belong in a doctor’s office. Sample to answer in a single device @nanopore #nanoporeconf

Here we go #museomica! So excited to be able to support this fantastic #insitu effort at #barcoding biospecimens in museums. #Peru coming out strong with their critical funding of science that matters!

In case you are wondering WHY we should care - yes, that turtle-shell bracelet/pendant/ring is likely from a wild turtle and it really didn’t want to become jewellery #iwt
