Troubleshooting bead cleanups on WGS libraries with no magnetic plate. Some broken magnets, JBweld, and a random tip rack did the trick. Anyone have 3D printer plans for DIY magnetic prep plates? Labs could buy a chunk of an NGS lane with the money saved…

Finally, some fossil-based age estimates for most Adephaga major lineages! Also combining UCE, RNAseq and WGS is doable and very useful. Cool team effort led by @StephenMBaca with @GreyTGustafson, @laninsky and @HarlanGough onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
