Are you interested in full length 16S rRNA sequencing on @nanopore? We developed a new workflow using UMIs and R10.4+ chemistry to enable highly accurate and multiplexed microbiome profiling.

This was a long road, and I’m glad to see this out! 1/4

The joy, the curse, and the importance of writing code for life scientists.

Our new blog post walks you through how the tiniest of coding mishaps can lead to an avalanche of misleading functional insights into your microbes.

[Mark van Loosdrecht  @MarkvLoosdrecht]

Metaproteomics, metagenomics and 16S rRNA sequencing give different view on microbal communities.
Methods should not be applied without an independent verification of results.

Thank you all for everything.

I also wanna thank my best advisors Prof. @LutRaskin and Prof. Steve Skerlos for encouraging me to take the course!
