📍 We’re going to #PAG33!

Check out our poster on standardized, automated DNA library prep across diverse agrigenomic species. One workflow, consistent high-quality WGS across plant, animal & microbial genomes - no assay-specific optimization.

Poster P363, Mon 3–4:30 PM.

A new year means fresh energy, new challenges, & more opportunities to build tools that truly support scientists. We’re focused on listening, innovating with purpose, & delivering what matters most in the lab. Big things ahead in 2026. 🥂

#LetsDoThis

As 2025 wraps, thank you to the researchers, developers, & teams who put Watchmaker tools to work this year. Your data, feedback, & collaboration pushed our science forward. We’re grateful for your partnership, & excited for even more innovation in 2026. ✨

If you walked into our Boulder office last week, you might’ve thought it was a toy store. 🎁 We partnered with Share-A-Gift & collected 100+ toys for kids across the Boulder Valley School District, helping spread extra holiday joy.
