There has been tons of interest how @Illumina's Complete Long Read technology and assay work. Check out this blog post for details. #bioinformatics #longreads #wgs
If you want more from your genome, Illumina Complete Long Reads may be the solution you didn’t know you needed. With a completely novel process, this breakthrough solution is helping researchers generate more accurate (and confident) genomes than ever: bit.ly/3X4ehhl

Great article quoting my BOC ⁦@ACasadevall1⁩ “Women have won just 12 of the 214 prizes in physiology or medicine, just 4 of the 175 prizes in chemistry, and just 2 of the 204 prizes in physics.” I know we go here annually, but come on. theatlantic.com/science/arch…

It went by quickly but today @Alex_Aravanis announced that DRAGEN was the both "the most accurate and comprehensive" secondary analysis platform . The "most accurate" is a bit "old news". The claim of "most comprehensive" is new. #DRAGEN #FullyFeatured

A lot of companies introduce new products saying they’re “changing everything.” @illumina did in fact…change everything and as a result, this WILL change everything. Time to change the way we interact with genetics in #healthcare. Stay tuned….

Black people paid taxes for pools schools & libraries they couldn’t use during Jim Crow (1865-1965)—$0 reparations Native people had 270M acres of their land stolen via Homestead Act (1862-1987)—$0 reparations Spare me MAGA outrage on $10K loan forgiveness for low income people

I love evidence of personalized medicine having impact today! Mehri Coulter's amazing story of how #PGx testing changed her life is a great example. Take a look: bit.ly/3JL1GZU

#PGx studies one's genetic variations effect on the response to medications. In 2020, Illumina #innovation developed algorithms to accurately genotype key PGx genes using #wgs & included them in #DRAGEN starting v3.7. Is PGx useful in your #wgs studies? bit.ly/3zGHvaF
