Meet the #insitulab team! Thank you @nanopore for the invitation to share our work with the world at #nanoporeconf
The In Situ Lab Initiative team are aiming to stop the loss of biodiversity through their work in conservation genomics. Long reads and portable sequencing solutions are vital for their mission #anythinganyoneanywhere #nanoporeconf
It’s rainy season in some parts of #Vietnam - especially here, in Nha Trang… 🌧️ Perfect moment for #data and #sequencing.🧬

Exciting results announced by #InSituLabs partners @rwandawildlife, unveiling the findings of the first comprehensive #biodiversity #survey of #RugeziMarsh - #Rwanda! We are so proud to have been a small part of these efforts in the #lab and #analysis. (1/2)🧵

Early findings were shared & celebrated with a documentary film (linked below) directed by Rwandan filmmaker James Rooney Dukundane. 📹 Read more about these findings in the newsletter below! (2/2)🧵

Breaking down barriers to sequencing across the globe takes a small yet mighty device - and in @nanopore - a partner who supports scientists in every #insitulab.
1/8 @Field_Projects is empowering local scientists in biodiversity hotspots by creating in situ labs to address critical issues like biodiversity conservation, animal health, and species-specific research (e.g., detection, population sustainability, and crime prevention). bit.ly/3BDKVQ9
The #insitulab DNA barcoding project is completed - happy to have supported this critical effort to #barcode #Peru’s fauna at the #wildlifeconservationlab at #losamigos.

Authors from CDC Taiwan found @nanopore sequences, generated with R10.4.1 & basecalled using Dorado 0.5.0 Super Accurate 4.3 model, exhibited comparable accuracy to Illumina sequences, effectively discriminating among bacterial strains from outbreaks journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
It’s on its way! The @nanopore #Mk1d just took its first steps towards an exciting summer of tropical genomics at up to 3 #insitulabs Thanks for the early access! @ZaneLibke @SurroundScience @giderk instagram.com/reel/C8NMCepPg…

The new Mk1D got the limelight and is starting to be featured by early access users in the field - we believe portable, on-site sequencing will continue to have an impact in science, especially for pathogen surveillance and rapid outbreak response

In the words of @SurroundScience, “Why take samples to labs if we can take labs to samples?”

“Why take samples to labs if we can take labs to samples?”
@SurroundScience is highlighting global inequities in access to science & consequently what we know about biodiversity. With @nanopore that game has changed!
#nanoporeconf
We have had a first look at some new products - and really, these are mind blowing. Smaller, preloaded with ingredients, the world’s tiniest sequencer is getting tinier!The stuff of dreams for #insitulabs @nanopore
The #insitulab team is pumped to be at #nanoporeconf this year, also @nanopore’s #londoncalling’s 10th birthday. We are excited to bring the first outputs from our #fieldlab programs to a global audience, and what a ride it has been!
Only 2 days left to apply for an #FPI #Genomics in the #Jungle in #Peru #scholarship (Deadline May 15th!)
