we are leading @BIOSCAN_UK to study arthropod diversity across space (UK) and time (monthly samples for 5 years). so far, we have 60k (of our 1 million ambition) single specimens on @sangerinstitute campus with DNA barcodes. the project also has great promise to contribute to..

Happy to share our paper: 'Optimization of high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing: an assessment of PCR pooling, mastermix use and contamination', in @MicrobioSoc journal Microbial Genomics with @Cambridge_Uni @sangerinstitute @MedCambridge

@maralohde @nanopore Looks great, how much DNA was loaded onto the flow cell?

[Darwin Tree of Life Project @darwintreelife]

MUST WATCH: this new video from @sangerinstitute features some of the amazing science and scientists working on #DarwinTreeOfLife🧬

It's a snapshot of the tireless work being undertaken by our partners the length and breadth of these islands.

Proud our Sequencing Operations team @sangerinstitute won the prize #HETS2021 #PapinPrizes @MI_TechTalent @InnovationMids Congratulations to everyone involved 👏👏👏👏

[Burcu Bronner-Anar @TechComm_Sanger]

@sangerinstitute team is ready for #HETS2021 tomorrow. @MI_TechTalent @InnovationMids @TechsCommit. Looking forward to it with @SelBallantyne @betteridge_emma @kiwisarastott @Sazza_Craw

[Emma Dawson @betteridge_emma]

It has been a pleasure collaborating with @SPTLabtech to rapidly develop our COVID-19 sequencing protocols @sangerinstitute. Thank you for your ongoing support.

[SPTLabtech @SPTLabtech]

We are extremely proud to share how our partnership approach and #liquidhandling technology played a part in the world-leading work undertaken by @wellcomeinstitute to track, understand and combat COVID-19 https://t.co/yn3KqJpuAi

This is exciting! 😀 Immensely proud to be a part of the @sangerinstitute contribution to @CovidGenomicsUK Happy #InternationalWomensDay

[COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium @CovidGenomicsUK]

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ♀️

Today, we thank all women in the COG-UK network for your phenomenal efforts — be it in genome sequencing, technical expertise, logistics or scientific leadership. 👩‍🔬

Here are just some of the amazing women who have contributed to COG-UK 🏆

[Emma Dawson @betteridge_emma]

Thank you @SequencingPark for your ongoing support and mentorship #WomenInScienceDay

[Dr Naomi Park @SequencingPark]

Awesome highly skilled scientist @betteridge_emma who has done so much for COVID sequencing @sangerinstitute over the last year #WomenInScienceDay

@circulomics Great talks, will they be available on demand? Thanks

*Update* to COVID-19 ARTIC v3 Illumina library construction and sequencing protocol @sangerinstitute. A change in annealing temperature from 65°C to 63°C recovers amplicon 64 dropout and reduces variation in coverage. @CovidGenomicsUK https://t.co/45G8Veqpyy

[Dr Naomi Park @SequencingPark]

Protocol @sangerinstitute are using for sequencing positive #COVIDー19 extracts on @illumina now out in @protocolsIO. Personal thanks to @Scalene for support with the @NetworkArtic PCR early on

[Emma Dawson @betteridge_emma]

@GiessenSingh @circulomics Thanks Harmeet!

[Emma Dawson @betteridge_emma]

@GiessenSingh @circulomics Great to hear, we will be testing this soo! Do you find recovery is good? Proportional to the amount of short reads seen on a femtopulse?

[Dr Naomi Park @SequencingPark]

We will be presenting our poster at #AGBT20 this afternoon. Please come and chat about our ongoing R&D on tissue disruption, HMW DNA extraction and optimisation of @nanopore libraries supporting @SangerToL
