I changed my email sign off to an em dash to keep ppl on their toes. I might be a bot.

News for the morning crowd!

We are NOT raising prices.

Tweet by @biomath.bsky.social who hasn't posted here in 2 months on the decision to leave prices of Illumina sequencing the same despite tariffs, absorbing the difference.

Thanks, he was a 12 year old Great Dane... so I was thrilled to have him around this long. One of the only things I have always insisted on in my lab is all our servers are named after my dogs. So I get to hear what "Jack" is up to going forward ;)

I hate to admit it, I used AI to write a story about my dog who just passed away.

We are not raising prices! While others adjust pricing due to tariff surcharges, we have your back.
Any quotes issued this summer will be honored for at least 180 days. We will also do our best to honor any quote that is part of a grant written this summer, regardless of when those funds come in.

Honesty as a whole, best conference food I have had.

Fun time at #AGBTAg2025 closing event. Great food and great conversation

There I go, ruining the fun again! It’s not my fault—realism and pragmatism are part of the package when you’re turning Swiss.

Ultima Genomics Gives Away Sequencing for Free. Literally. Ultima Genomics announces that it will provide three trillion DNA sequencing reads free of charge to researchers across the United States and Canada.

Ultima genomics will give away 3 Trillion reads for free. (No, it's not an April Fool's stunt.) Thanks to @catharineaquino.bsky.social @biomath.bsky.social @omicsomics.bsky.social for comments.

Whoop! Look who I ran into at @TAMU
core lab open house. If you need help with plant transformation email Marco Molina at marco.molina@tamu.edu and he can take care of your transformation needs. He also takes projects outside TAMU.

Illumina $ILMN 2x300 kits for the NovaSeqX. Evolutionary from equivalent in the NextSeq and MiSeq lines.

I got my wish! Illumina is coming out with 1.5B 2x300 on the X. NOW 💯 of projects are on the X. Full conversion!

Overdue for my annual #AGBT haberdashery communique

This year I’m sporting this wonderful cap @biomath.bsky.social gifted me last year.

There might be a few more around, but if you accidentally mistake another for me - any friend of Charlie’s is an interesting new contact! 🧬🖥️

Thank you so much Keith, an incredible honor. If anyone wants this year’s hat. Hit me up, I am happy to share while they last. #AGBTGM #AGBT25

Best spot to work on slides. 5th floor down the hall from bowling alley.

Another amazing day at Marco Island. #AGBT25

Backpacks are back!!! #AGBT25

Roche’s Fantasy Sequencer Slowly Turning Into a Fantastic Reality After 10+ years of mostly silence, Roche is finally starting to lift the curtain on their nanopore sequencer. It’s based on a combination of Genia’s nanopore platform (acquired in 2014) and Stratos…

Not saying this is the new Roche SBX sequencing system box. But I am saying it should be 😎 #AGBT25

One can always hope!

If the i100 can have 2x300, the Nova should as well!

Still holding out hope for a 2X250 1.5B FC announcement from @illumina for #NovaSeqX at #AGBT25 @AGBT. Yes, I'm an eternal optimist.
