$200 whole genome announced by @illumina. Machines cost $1.25m and can do 20k per year. However, What’s always struck me is how they stay ahead by solving the ‘whole problem’. not just throughout/cost but also eliminating need for refrigerating reagents, 1 box instead of 3. #IGF

#NovaseqX is here to produce 20,000 human WGS per year. Promise of increased accuracy + #dragen integration. List price $200 per genome. The time for bringing comprehensive clinical grade whole genome sequencing to patients is NOW. @illumina isabl.io #IGF

We've got a new baby #NovaSeq X and X Plus with #XLEAP-SBS..... @illumina #IGF Look at that smile on @fdesouza #genomics . 8 lanes are back baby!! With #DRAGEN on board! 20,000 WGS per year. 2.5X NovaSeq 6000.

Shameless plea for networking help (clinical ID/epi folks, please share)-> For the infectious disease leader with a passion for genomics and improving public health on a global scale, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity @illumina: illumina.wd1.myworkdayjobs.c… #Genomics

Our letter to @nytimes editor responding to #NIPT screening article has been published. ACMG Pres-Elect Dr. Susan Klugman explains these are screening, not diagnostic, tests; more definitive tests follow positive screens, & pretest counseling is crucial. nyti.ms/3HP5LtA
Genomics Geoff (with a J) retweeted
Screening tests are not diagnostic tests and their positive predictive values get progressively worse for rarer diseases, even with identical sensitivity and specificity. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
Replying to @sarahkliff
In our new @nytimes investigation, @aatishb and I spent months talking to experts, tracking down studies, and analyzing data. What we found: the tests’ findings of disorders are wrong a surprising amount of the time, between 81 and 93 percent. (2/5)

New research in @TheLancetOncol shows HLA allele, HLA-A*03, is associated with poor clinical outcomes for cancer patients receiving #immunotherapy. The findings support HLA-A*03 as a potential biomarker for immunotherapy response. ms.spr.ly/6015Z8da7 cc @DanaFarber_GU

ARTIC has released a patch for PCR primers...
Replying to @Scalene
There are 10 mutations in Omicron which affect primers in the V4 scheme which was designed against Alpha-Delta but not those that have emerged since.

"This was a gamechanger." A mother shares the story of her daughter Evelyn, who was critically ill in the @bronsonhealth NICU. Her rare genetic condition was diagnosed by rapid #WholeGenomeSequencing as part of #ProjectBabyDeer. Proud to partner with them. bronsonpositivity.com/i-cann…

For info: in some applications of ARTIC V4 primers (including Sanger's), Omicron mutations A23040G, G23048A, A23055G in 76_RIGHT cause drop-out of amplicon 76, leaving 22786-22974 uncovered and so missing calls for K417N, N440K, G446S
