I only just got used to DRAGEN v4.4…

From startup to global genomics leader: Illumina's The Sequence Podcast YouTube video by Illumina

Illumina employee number 4, CTO Steve Barnard talks to VP Ashley Van Zeeland about the early days and the #genomics waves that have happened over the last 30 years. Well... 28-ish.
#podcast #TheSequence I wonder who will be next in the chair?

Comprehensive genome analysis and variant detection at scale using DRAGEN - Nature Biotechnology DRAGEN rapidly identifies diverse types of genetic variants.

Cool Field Service Engineering role in Melbourne for #illumina. illumina.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/illumina-car...

I can vouch… microarrays are still very important and popular tools.

It’s OK… I know people. We can sort it all out

We've done it before. Let's see if I am still here when you get around to it. That is planning in advance!

I can organise Illumina for you.

Join the local Melbourne #illumina Field Apps team to specialise in #Bioinformatics. It's a great team, you get to play with #DRAGEN and help customers get the best data for analysis. #genomics #multiomics #singlecell #spatial #transcriptome #epigenetics bit.ly/46o4sRj
I can refer the right folks.

The good old days 😉

Anytime

Have you seen Bekim's early access presentation from ASHG? sapac.illumina.com/company/vide...
Low input, not HMW, not ultra pure extractions, high throughput, short read accuracy, cfDNA compatible and easy to use #DRAGEN analysis pipeline for those who don't have bioinformaticians on hand.

From sample to insight: Streamlining analysis with the Illumina 5-base solution Discover how the Illumina 5-base solution and DRAGEN pipeline streamline genetic and epigenetic analysis with accurate methylation and variant insights.

Switch from painful #methylation protocols... #Illumina 5-Base plus #DRAGEN and Connected Multiomics make it so much easier. All from a single sample and single sequencing run. bit.ly/3MAr8qA

Until 5pm.... then the switch is flipped.

So it’s just like University then. 😉

I had nothing to do with this great idea but will happily tell those in charge it was worth it @lornegenome.bsky.social
#genomics #coffee

One day…. One day…. Hopefully it won’t be just me. Enjoy the coffee!

@agbt.bsky.social is coming soon! I miss out again, but #illumina will speak about #multiomics workflows, library prep, #sequencing systems, informatics, analysis and AI.

Predictions?

No earmworm intended.. hahaha

A little bit of Illumina Seq, a little bit of ONT seq, a little bit of Helicos seq. The sample prep for seq back in the day was hectic! Very happy that his has reached pre-print and ready for review.

The annual day of boredom at work has come... Online compliance and safety video day. End me.
