Great to see Group Leader Dr Wilfried Haerty (@whaerty.bsky.social) presenting his work at #PacBioPRISM this afternoon!
Dr Haerty leads our #CellularGenomics research programme and is interested in the impact of variation on gene and transcript expression across scale.

#genomics #sequencing @drkarimgharbi.bsky.social
💬 “By using a much-expanded set of robust barcodes, we can pool more samples in the sequencing lane, making better use of our capacity and further lowering the cost per sample.” - @drkarimgharbi.bsky.social
LITE2 takes affordable genome sequencing to a new level
Technological advances have transformed #sequencing, but costs and timescales can still be limiting, especially in library generation.
Earlham Institute's updated Low Input, Transposase Enabled (LITE) protocol offers low-cost, high-throughput whole #genome sequencing with reduced DNA input. 💻🧬🧪
A team from the Earlham Institute and the Czech Academy of Sciences have #sequenced and assembled the first near-complete annotated #genome of the wood-decaying bracket fungus, Somion occarium, as part of @ergabiodiv.bsky.social. 🧪

Karim Gharbi, Head of Technical Genomics, and Conrad Nieduszynski, Group Leader, will present a talk titled 'Ultra-long read sequencing resolves the pattern of DNA replication initiation across the human genome' on Thursday 30 January, from 16:35 to 17:05.
Catch our scientists at the #FestivalofGenomics later this month where they'll be discussing overcoming data challenges in #singlecell biology, and ultra #longread #sequencing in #DNAreplication.👇🧬🖥️
