On the eve of the 2016 Philippine pres. elections, I encountered an article that explored the use of Google trends to predict election outcomes, by @kcorazo in Apr 2016. Back-tested with prior elections in other counties. TL;DR It predicted a Duterte win. https://t.co/v7BPtFX53Q

Post-election update: search volume predicted both the winners of the Philippine and US elections (see 2nd to the last section below).

Back though to epigenetics; I sort of wish we always used specific phrases for each definition, eg "behavioural transmission" or "mitosis persistent cell identity" or "DNA modification". It would make many conversations more productive.

We're gonna do an indoor version of this in a couple of months Next step is to sequence in the mountains โฐ๏ธ or the seas ๐ possibly within the year!๐ค๐ฝ

7 technologies to watch in 2022 @Nature include #CRISPR based diagnostics. Exciting news for @openbioeconomy as we head to Cameroon tomorrow to launch the CRISPRDx Academy @LabMboa. Can we make 2022 the year that equity in (bio)tech takes centre stage? https://t.co/nTiAvyZSDd

Update on our high school student summer project using our @NVIDIAEmbedded Jetson with Nanopore adaptive sampling. What an amazing tool! Excited to try out in the field on soil metagenomic samples in the Arctic. Thanks again to Thanks @miles_benton for the detailed instructions

Can we replicate this for local students? Share flow cells and hardware to make it cheap @98michaelbacus @SabinayStephen
Kicking off the Alaska Portable Genomics Hackathon for Pathogen Detection. Weโve got an enthusiastic group of @uafairbanks undergraduates ready to dive into @nanopore sequencing and @NVIDIAEmbedded GPUs. #GPUHackathon #anythinganyoneanywhere

I want to travel around the Philippines bringing a MinION and sequence backyard cacao and recreate Montemayor et al (2008) Then do the same in Mexico (where we got our cacao 400 years ago). Which genes are normally sequenced for this kind of project? (cheapest version pls)

Anyone ever used the Cacao Genome Database? When you click any of these tools, you're always sent to to the homepage. Are these real?

I was hoping to see where they belong in this classification scheme https://t.co/rs6rhJztF4 but they used microsattelites for this one There are only 2 cacao genomes in NCBI

Plant genomics twitter: Got in a molecular identification program for 6 samples. Gonna send cacao (maybe 3 criollos, 3 agribiz cultivars). What are good questions to ask? They will sequence the ff: - rbcL - MATK - trnH-psbA - internal transcribed spacer
