Very interesting day at the genomics England long read summit. And great to catch up with @generoom.bsky.social and more!

Lots of nice information in this presentation.

Very nice summary of a number of cohorts and chemistries across @nanoporetech.com from genomics England.

Spent the last hour helping solve quadratic equations for my son’s maths homework.

I knew my A-level maths would one day come in useful.

And it has.

To do his A-level maths.

PhD opportunity available on epigenomics/trasncriptomics as part of the network of clinicians and researchers working in glioblastoma research at @uniofnottingham.bsky.social Using a wide range of tech and methods but definitely long reads @nanoporetech.com - more at lnkd.in/eBtrtZiM

“the service that is provided” - discuss…

A bit like spiralling publication costs we need to start having a proper discussion around lab equipment servicing costs. These are often completely disproportionate to the cost of instrument and the service that is provided and seem to serve as a cash cow for vendors.

Scientists claim to have unlocked ‘secret sauce’ needed for fine chocolate Results of studying cocoa bean fermentation in Colombia could pave way to manipulate flavour, say researchers

Great to see this paper out www.nature.com/articles/s41... including Chris Moore of the Nottingham DeepSeq team. Chris took @nanoporetech.com Mk1Cs out to Columbia and sequenced chocolate. Coverage www.theguardian.com/science/2025... and institutions.newscientist.com/article/2492....

For @nanoporetech.com geeks I’ve just been pointed at this very helpful site - nanoporetech.github.io/ont-output-s... - I hadn't seen this before and it's very useful!

Thanks for all your support Mike!

Really pleased that this paper is out - academic.oup.com/neuro-oncolo... thanks to all our collaborators far and wide who have helped and of course @nanoporetech.com

A benefit of being on the other side of the world is being able to watch the sprint race live.

Real pleasure to be presenting at the @nanoporetech.com #WYMM event in Melbourne Australia today. Great to see the pores work equally well upside down. And at last - socks! Though I still think they should be the long sock… youtu.be/zxI-pcLj9XE?...

Whilst I can’t disagree, I feel this also wouldn’t be specific enough. There have been many many things sad people have obsessed over for 15 years.

I know university challenge is famed for its attention to detail but that would be too niche even for paxman. And I’m now setting my poRe timer…

Just wish I knew what the actual question was… “FASTA, FASTQ and FAST5…” - fill in the blanks?

Great to be visiting @nanoporetech.com as part of a cns Nanopore symposium meeting with pathologists and clinical scientists to discuss the application of nanopore sequencing in the clinic.

That was Marco island the other night yes.

No filter.

#AGBT2025 #AGBTGM has been incredible. Lucky to be part of the event with @nanoporetech.com - as always we were so looked after by our amazing events team!

I can’t stop watching it slowly spin.

Well done @fogenomics.bsky.social another fantastic meeting ✨ Caught up with so many friends 🙏 Great speakers and even better networking 🧬🧬 #FOG2025

See you all in July at Genome Science, in Newcastle 🥳

To be fair I can see why you might of been confused

Oracle.

They’ve even got a whale…

For info - it’s DeepSeq for all your next generation sequencing needs. Deep Seek will do something completely different…
