@my_helix and update to our preprint on @medrxivpreprint is now live:
https://t.co/892f3Zae38

Thanks @ETCirulli @simonjwhite71 @DNAwyman @jameslu20 @Maglaar @genesareclever & everyone else not on Twitter :)

[Helix @my_helix]

We are excited to announce the closing of our Series C funding! Thank you to our existing investors for your continued support of our mission, as we accelerate our impact into clinical population genomics and COVID-19 viral surveillance.

[Helix @my_helix]

Working with @Illumina and the @CDCgov, we’ve now identified in the US more than 50 cases of B.1.1.7 (the more contagious strain discovered in the UK). Learn more about our national surveillance efforts: https://t.co/xYapn2CTJ2

[Helix @my_helix]

A major milestone: We’ve delivered 1,000,000 COVID-19 tests! Over half of these were in just the past 4 weeks. We support >1,000 testing sites from coast to coast and are continually scaling to meet our partners’ need for COVID-19 testing. Read more: https://t.co/ikSsIQRiJC

This is my favorite kind of story to work on: We've got a bonkers premise, a brief interlude for the nuts and bolts of international trade, and a sort of unbelievable character at the center of it all. It's a lot of fun if you're looking for a light distraction!

Dear California voters, if you have voted early by mail, please check the status of your ballot: https://t.co/s7l1lGUc2w. I just saw that mine was rejected due to a signature mismatch, which is curable but NEEDS TO BE DONE! Make sure your vote is counted!! #vote

[Hagen Tilgner / @[email protected] @hagentilgner]

Interested in single-cell, isoforms, RNA & brain ? We are hiring in NYC. Please get in touch through [email protected].

[Liz Cirulli @ETCirulli]

We are looking to hire a human genetics researcher in the Minneapolis area to support our Minnesota partners while working remotely with myself and the other Helix researchers in California. Please spread the news, and come to me with questions! https://t.co/VAbps6CuWL

Helix's next-generation sequencing COVID-19 test received EUA! "The ability to [use NGS] technology to conduct 100,000 tests per day in the same laboratory is a logistical and scientific breakthrough," says Senior Advisor to the NIH director, Rick Bright https://t.co/CTWm5npN6i

[Helix @my_helix]

Excited to be selected by the @NIH RADx-ATP program to become one of the Nation’s COVID-19 “Mega-labs” and scale to 100,000 tests a day. This funding will help us expand access to much-needed COVID-19 testing and help our nation recover from this pandemic https://t.co/t76qtnxWyf

[Helix @my_helix]

Excited to announce our partnership with San Diego County to provide COVID-19 testing in our community. We're proud to leverage our expertise to help provide COVID-19 testing to those who need it most! https://t.co/jWwVnH7DRN

[Liz Tseng @Magdoll]

Wow just came across this long read tools listing page by @long_read_tools . I already checked our tools are all in there @GenomeRIK @anaconesa @DNAwyman @FairlieReese https://t.co/Rqe7E7MxVj

[Ali Mortazavi @calizavi]

Fairlie’s Swan package for analyzing transcript models from long reads is now out and on Biorxiv! Several groups at the latest @ENCODE_NIH jamboree are already using it!

Check it out if you want to study transcriptome diversity in full length transcriptomes.

[Fairlie Reese / @fairlie.bsky.social @FairlieReese]

So proud to finally share my work on Swan, a Python library to visualize and analyze transcriptomes. @calizavi

@AP_Boyle Huge congrats Alan!

[Sarah Wyman @scwyman]

🍾🎉🚨 THIS IS A CELEBRATION TWEET🚨🎉🍾
My very cool big sister @DNAwyman just earned her PhD and can I just say... man, she is TALONted!! (this is a joke I only get because she did such a good job explaining Smart Words™️ in her defense)

NEW PREPRINT: @ENCODE_NIH supported "Transcriptome-Wide Combinatorial RNA Structure Probing in Living Cells"

Great collaboration with @UCIrvine colleagues @calizavi and @YongshengShi . Help from the lovely and talented @raflynn5 too!

[Natalie Telis @NatalieTelis]

Was so excited when I found out about this I nearly shrieked in group meeting. Whoever told five year old me “you can’t be a mathematician, a biologist, AND a painter” can take that right back 😜

[Liz Tseng @Magdoll]

Highlighting (what I think are) important bioinformatics tools for long read RNA-seq analysis works by me & @GenomeRIK @anaconesa @DNAwyman @XLR @PacBio #PBUGM
