Was the first on my block to have a DNA sequencer in my garage...1997 in Half Moon Bay. Now I'm into glycans.

Happy to share that QA-Bio Asia Pte. Ltd. was incorporated in Singapore today!

Congratulations @CarolynBertozzi and @raflynn5 for the amazing discovery of glycosylated RNA, #glycoRNA.

Labcorp shares the data derived from #SARS_CoV_2 samples from patients with geographic and time metadata. After @PacBio sequencing 6,700 of these samples they were able to add mutation metadata showing the spread of variants. #SequenceEverything #HiFiDNA

What's the #HiFi advantage in viral sequencing? Fewer amplicon drop-outs, simpler amplicon balancing & the ability to call all mutation types robustly, even at low coverage. We're excited to bring this to bear on #COVID19 surveillance w/ a new protocol: https://t.co/7lkNMLgbLj

[Mike Gibson @dna_mike]

@Labcorp will be expanding their #SARSCoV2 sequencing with @Pacbio's Sequel II systems . The protocol, co-developed the two organizations, allows complete viral genome sequencing of 96-900 samples.

This study uses antibodies that bind to the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of the Spike protein preventing infection. Using a mixture of antibodies, some variants "escaped". Connecting the antibody pairs with a linker molecule prevents the mutant "escapes". https://t.co/DBhOzMEaCM

[Mike Gibson @dna_mike]

Th US has failed dismally in sequencing #SARSCoV2 samples from patients, from 0.02% to 2.6%, ranking 36th in the world. We are flying blind in a #pandemic. For comparison, Denmark has sequenced half of all its COVID cases. #SequenceEverything

Really @nature? A timeline of genomic sequencing with nothing from before 2000?

[Mike Gibson @dna_mike]

@phototrophic @PacBio I did! Looking forward to working with you all. :-)

Go PACB Go!! Up 12% as of this moment. SoftBank makes a major investment in #HiFiDNA. @PacBio

Francis deSouza, CEO of @illumina calls for a "Bio Force" to track the virus and declares "genomic surveillance is central to the solution. "

Come on USA, we need to get to work sequencing SARS-CoV-2 and tracking the virus properly like the rest of the planet.

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

Over 250,000 #SARSCoV2 genomes have been sequenced to date by the COG-UK consortium 🧬

A sombre, yet important milestone in the fight against the #COVID19 pandemic 😷

[Zachery Eanes @zeanes]

A new CDC contract for Labcorp could increase U.S. sequencing of COVID-19 variants. https://t.co/qoMeQAKu10

The history of the genome project was annotated with psychedelics. From Kerry Mullis' famed ride through the redwoods of northern California to Hilton Head's late night LSD beach party, a lot of the founders turned on. :-)

[Kevin McKernan @Kevin_McKernan]

The 1st Psilocybe cubensis genome is now in NCBI.
This was sequenced with @PacBio HiFi and assembled with @infoecho Peregrine assembler.

It was annotated with FunAnnotate and RNA-Seq data from Whitehead/MIT (Torrens-Spence et al)

"these developments may lead to the democratisation of genome assembly projects which are now approachable by smaller labs with limited technical and financial resources."
