So happy to see my @UCLEarInstitute colleagues at #UCLTechShowcase today!

Lithuanian company Droplet Genomics presented their technology at @imperialcollege yesterday. A very promising single cell microfluidics company! #singlecell #dropletgenomics

[Prof. Nikolai Slavov @slavov_n]

In 2015, an article in @nature estimated that 800,000,000 USD is wasted annually on nonspecific antibodies.

It also suggested standardization, which has not happened. I wonder how much we will spend in 2023 on low specificity antibodies.

Spatial transcriptome is the next wave after single-cell RNAseq. Resources to bookmark to get into the field 👇 🧵

Such a successful #FoG2023! Thank you @FoGenomics for organising such great 2 days full of interesting talks and great minds

[Modesta Blunskyte-Hendley @ModestaBlue]

Great 1st day at London Festival of Genomics! #FoG2023

[Modesta Blunskyte-Hendley @ModestaBlue]

@JAACable This better

[Modesta Blunskyte-Hendley @ModestaBlue]

@ucl now has technical staff twitter account @TechsatUCL. This week they are highlighting how they support development of technical staff. Keep an eye, techs!

[Modesta Blunskyte-Hendley @ModestaBlue]

Looking forward to attending Festival of Genomics this year! If you haven’t signed up yet, there is still some time #FoG2023

[The Festival of Genomics & Biodata @FoGenomics]

This is it! Tomorrow is your last chance to register for #FoG2023 - the UK's largest genomics event!

There are 20,000 protein-coding genes in the human genome, but nearly 150,000 transcripts. Explore the biological significance of transcript isoforms and how our long-read sequencing protocols for #singlecell and #visiumspatial can help you detect them. https://t.co/P8CCCDJ7AU

[Nature Methods @naturemethods]

It's finally here!! Our Method of the Year 2022 is....long-read sequencing! 🎉

Read our (free!) Editorial to learn why we felt the time was right to select this class of powerful technologies as the Method of the Year.

@JAACable Literally my first thought seeing this

[Modesta Blunskyte-Hendley @ModestaBlue]

This is creepily good

I asked AI ChatGPT to write me a poem about genetic counselling. What do you think? 😁#GeneChat #genomics

[UK Dementia Research Institute @UKDRI]

Exciting news today as results from phase 3 trial of #Alzheimers drug lecanemab presented at #CTAD22 confirm the drug reduced amyloid in the brain & slowed cognitive decline👏

UK DRI researchers comment on the news, hailed as 'the beginning of the end'🙌👉https://t.co/8YZMSrdVuO

[Prof. Nikolai Slavov @slavov_n]

Can we analyze millions of single-cell proteomes?

Can we achieve high accuracy & low cost?

This @NatureBiotech article https://t.co/Lkf108NwPJ outlines a path forward.

The principle was demonstrated by @slavovLab https://t.co/DZ0E7vC6lR
