The downside of naming a Twitter account after your lab means you're stuck with that name even after you move the lab. Still doing genomics though.

First evolving technologies session at #genomescienceUK

[Andrew Carroll @acarroll_ATG]

Excited to share this analysis of @ElemBio’s data (and their new Cloudbreak chemistry). We see accuracy advantages in Element data, especially at 20x-30x coverages and in homopolymers and repeats. Longer sequening inserts can further improve recall through hard genome regions.

@GenomixKid @GenomeInABottle A comprehensive comparison study, in collaboration with Google, will be published on bioRxiv in mid-July. Here is a preview figure comparing AVITI with NovaSeq data. HG003 was selected as it's excluded from DeepVariant training. #Genomics #NGS #AVITI”

@mason_lab @PacBio @GenomeInABottle Great to see some data on the Onso platform!! Looking forward to seeing how it looks beyond a single end read and hopefully release of the data. It's an impressive start for sure!

@GenomixKid @illumina @UltimaGenomics @MGI_Technology The NovaSeqX is a $1000/day instrument (5 year life, reasonable guess at service). Genomes at 100Gb based on $2/Gb or is it 125Gb/genome based on spec page listing 128 genomes per run? Surprising inconsistency for Illumina.

@coregenomics @manal_mehta @JoshWarburton2 @OmicsOmicsBlog @SanDiegOmics @JuliaKarow @MGI_BGI @illumina Sequencing costs are like cell phone plans and hotels. They rarely include everything. Ultimately don't think anyone will be disappointed as long as the cost details have transparency. @MGI_BGI aimed for that at AGBT.

Sometimes small airports have advantages like free wifi. Sometimes they are just small airports. @FlyHSV

HudsonAlpha Genomics Lab just completed CLIA license and first 2 HiSeq X arrive this week. Huge things in 2015. Press soon.

MinION. For real.

Bill Frezza proves it’s easier to criticize than understand and @bioitworld proves its desperate for attention. http://t.co/gIiE4ow9mF

[Shawn Levy @genomicslab]

Long overdue releases of good stuff from our lab including the sub-$1000 genome, $50 exome capture and new software. Coming soon!!

[Shawn Levy @genomicslab]

Our first New England Journal of Medicine paper was published online today. Happy to work with such a great group... http://t.co/6u3LgbHx

[Shawn Levy @genomicslab]

Posters and presentations galore from HudsonAlpha #AGBT. Look forward to seeing everyone there!!

[Shawn Levy @genomicslab]

Roche has announced a hostile takeover of Illumina. Suspect it will add to the excitement at #AGBT http://t.co/85bKrseh

[Shawn Levy @genomicslab]

@MishaAngrist More study is underway on larger exome. Same observations continue. Agree functional data is needed for mechanism.

[Shawn Levy @genomicslab]

@MishaAngrist Fair ? but note the 679 individuals in 1000 Genomes and 150 unaffecteds screened. Note the population that was studied too.

[Shawn Levy @genomicslab]

Lucky number 7 HiSeq came online today and we are celebrating with $1,650 exomes. Contact us for details.
