[Illumina Live Events @illuminaLive]

Did you know Illumina announced new kits are coming to NextSeq™ 1000/2000 platforms later this year? Flexibility and scalability will be extended with the addition of the P1 100 cycle and 600 cycle kits. Learn more about the upcoming innovations here: https://t.co/jm94xv7sXv

[Illumina Live Events @illuminaLive]

600cycle kit: 16s and immune repertoire methods will be enabled on the NextSeq 1000/20000 platforms later this year with the addition of the the P1 600c kit. Visit us at Illumina's Palm Beach Lounge at #AGBT22 to learn more!

and if you missed our webinar on PacBio HiFi reads, the recording is here. Thanks to those who came along! https://t.co/wTwxmXNBiW

[Auckland Genomics @AucklandGenomic]

Join us for a webinar Tuesday 31st May 11am-1pm (NZST) to learn about PacBio HiFi genomic sequencing and how it might be of value to your research. Register:

At the #nanoporeconf, @LaraUrban42 shared her research into leveraging adaptive sampling of eDNA to monitor the critically endangered kākāpō. Lara went on to explain how monitoring was straightforward to set up & is being applied to other projects. Watch: https://t.co/GLlIdkiRXK

[Queenstown Research Week @QTResearchWeek]

Breaking news: Queenstown Research Week will be running live and in person from 30 Aug-2 Sept 2021. Lookout for details and get in quick with accom and travel to avoid all the bubble travellers from Aus.

[Lara Urban @LaraUrban42]

Note: The GridION is available at @OtagoGenomics, not @GeneticsOtago - one of only three GridIONs in Aotearoa (I believe), so get in touch with them if you want to so some nanopore sequencing or adaptive sampling!

@ProfGemmell @illumina Kia ora Neil, happy to help, congratulations on the paper! 👏👊

[Charlie Johnson @BioMath]

@illumina @coregenomics James with the NovaSeq there is no limit. We have multiplexed many times >5000 samples on one S4XP flow cell. Using a mixture of UDI and combinatorial barcodes. 10-20 different projects.

@Angie_Fawkes @SallyJamesYork @BioMath @4130chromo Qiagen are also working on a FastSelect bacteria kit. From Qiagen "There is a delay in the launch of the bacteria kit – we are working out metrics for performance criteria and which bacterial species will be covered"

This study is flawed because of a batch effect and a technical confounder. I added a comment to the preprint, but this table S1 tells the story.
