Ginkgo Bioworks notified ~300 really talented people they will be laid off.
I’m lucky to not be one, but would love to help those hit - talent of every level & specialty
If you have job leads, I can forward - DM me / reply to this / DM me on LinkedIn

Come join us if you want to learn how we ran a super lean startup and entirely bootstrapped from spinout to product launch to exit. Would love to meet more local entrepreneurs too!

Excited for @circulomics to be featured as one of @JHTechVentures 10 Innovations in 10 Years!
Over the next 10 months, JHTV will be celebrating a decade of innovation, highlighting discovery, innovation and translation. Our first is CIrculomics: bit.ly/3UDP50i
1/ This is Mort. He's a mouse lemur. He's also a movie star. In 2020, @circulomics ran a contest with @ArimaGenomics. Anne Yoder won with her lemur speciation and biodiversity project. We were smitten by the adorable pics. Don't ask Anne for pics unless you want to fall into a 1 hr rabbit hole.

5/ This has been one of our favorite projects and has allowed us to live vicariously through an amazing collaborator. We're so lucky to have been able to ride along with Anne and her team. Over 3.5 years, we got to see the project go from idea to funded grant to expedition to lab work and soon to data analysis. We got on the train as @circulomics and now finish this leg as @PacBio. I can't wait to see what they find!
How did we get @PacBio PureTarget to generate high coverage of expanded alleles? We looked at every step in the workflow to ensure those precious molecules made it from your sample to your computer screen.

By taking a cohesive re-design of the entire workflow -sample, extraction, assay/library prep, reaction purification, sequencing, and data analysis - we were able to make PureTarget work so much better than NoAmp.
I am so excited to announce the PureTarget repeat expansion panel from @PacBio! This is a targeted sequencing kit that captures 20 pathogenic repeats linked to neurological disease pacb.com/products-and-servic…

Thank you Director Green! BioDIGS has truly been a highlight of my career. It starts with collecting soil from all over the United States and then diving deep into the informatics to study the genomic diversity of the world around us. schatz-lab.org/presentations…
A highlight of the morning session at #AGBT2024 was @mike_schatz’s talk, in which he described a remarkably creative new program (BioDIG) that involves getting students involved in microbiome research of soil. Kudos to Michael for his outstanding leadership of this effort!
Since joining @PacBio, we've made SRE size selection even better. Protocol tweaks improve recovery, and you can now process 96 samples at a time on a liquid handler. Never lose the pellet again!

Nice work @GenomeRIK!

Did you know you can shear DNA by pipetting? Of course you did! But did you know you can use evil for good?!? We found this by accident when making large numbers of femto pulse preps. Pipette shearing is our go-to method because it's so fast and cheap!

The @PacBio Nanobind PanDNA kits are out! The team worked hard to integrate everything into a single kit that generates beautiful HiFi data across the board. You should see the panel of critters and plants we tested in development!

From a few ziplock bags of Baltimore’s finest dirt to beautiful @PacBio HiFi data on the first try!

If you’re at #agbt24 and have a suited paper in preparation feel free to reach out and talk to me for @genomeresearch special issue on long read sequencing
Congrats @larmanlab! So exciting to see Infinity take off!
Infinity Bio Brings New Technology to Antibody-Antigen Binding Analysis. The Johns Hopkins spinout expects its solution-based assays and DNA barcode readout will offer improved performance and flexibility compared to traditional approaches. ow.ly/vM0u105fu5p
