Carpool Karaoke DNA Sequencing - Taking the @nanopore MinIon for a spin (literally). Sujeevan Ratnasingham from @CBG_UofG and @LifeScanApp and the team from @acdblab managed to generate sequence data in a car, on the go. This proves that NGS technology is going places!

Tonight at Home Instruction we completed our @LifeScanApp Seafood Sampling kit! Now our fish samples that will be sent for DNA Barcoding...
Our big question is are they what the label says they are?? 🧐🐟👩🔬

It’s #WorldFoodDay, but do you really know what’s on your plate? New results from our DNA testing in Montreal adds to mounting evidence that Canada has a rampant #seafoodfraud problem. Almost half of more than 470 seafood samples were mislabelled. More at Oceana.ca/StopSeafoodFraud.
