Pawsitively amazing: Did you know, a dog's breed is generally a poor predictor of their behavior? Using Illumina’s genotyping, @ScienceMagazine explains how behavior perceptions are derived from thousands of years of polygenic adaption: https://t.co/AdnNLRVmE1 #DogBreed #Genomics

24 years ago today, Illumina was founded with the mission to transform human health. Every
breakthrough opened up a new world and
showed us how much further there is to go with the help of our employees, customers, and partners across the globe. #IlluminaProud

Sequencing is key to helping the world overcome the #COVID19 crisis and prevent the next pandemic. See how the @CDCgov is using #genomics for variant tracking and monitoring.

Pretty exciting start to the day watching @illumina CEO @fdesouza talk to @FaceTheNation about #genomics and #Omicron.

[Illumina @illumina]

We are now less likely to be caught unawares by emerging variants, but blind spots still exist. We can only see & manage what is sequenced, equity of access to sequencing around the world is essential, along with rapid & open data sharing. @FaceTheNation https://t.co/h06LNj1kVL

Our new iHope™ Genetic Health program will expand access to whole genome sequencing to low- & middle-income communities globally, with more than 1/3 of funds allocated to patients in Africa. More about our partnership: https://t.co/d58QCCblYS @GeneticAlliance #iHope #Genomics

What caused the demise of the wooly mammoth in the last Ice Age? Check out how Prof. Eske Willerslev and team sequenced more than 535 samples of ancient soil to help unlock clues about Arctic life more than 50,000 years ago. https://t.co/lxDRBEdyw3 @Nature #genome #sequencing
