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!

Our new @PacBio #Revio is being installed. Very exciting to have this new long read platform, able to generate 4x~90gb/day. A lot of very nice engineering in this machine. Keen to get the first few batches of data off to see what we can do with it.

Ever wish PacBio m6A calling didn't require subreads? We present our solution fibertools for fast and accurate identification of m6A at scale. Thanks to first authors @AnupamaJha48 and Stephanie and the @stergachislab for allowing me to co-lead this work! tinyurl.com/33wnyzar

Really excited to release our latest PacBio variant caller, pbfusion. Accurately calling fusion genes from all types of Iso-Seq data. We just released pbfusion to @condaproject , docs here: github.com/PacificBioscience…
Gene fusion detection technology just got an upgrade. PacBio presents pbfusion: a powerful new tool that identifies key fusion breakpoints from #HiFisequencing data. Learn about how pbfusion advances the #CancerResearch landscape: bit.ly/3o7UuQt #PacBio #AACR23

I'm super excited to see these long read panels live! twistbioscience.com/products… The combination of @PacBio #HiFireads and @TwistBioscience probes will have a huge impact on our ability to target challenging regions of the genome like gene/pseudogene pairs or multigene families
