Don’t miss our #PAG2026 industry workshop today at 10:30 a.m. in Room D! Join us for an in-depth session on “Grapevine Red Blotch Virus — Realities and challenges associated with GRBaV in the vineyard,” presented by Dr. Christoper Chen. #PAG33

The PacBio PAG 2026 party has begun! 🎉🌱🐄 We’re excited for a night of great conversation, connections, and celebrating the collaborations that make plant and animal genomics so inspiring.

Thanks to everyone who joined our PacBio workshop today! 🌱🐄

We loved sharing how HiFi sequencing and SPRQ-Nx chemistry are advancing multiomic discoveries across genomes and populations. Stop by Booth #219 to continue the conversation!

#PlantScience peeps represent at #PAG2026!

Next up… what’s coming for #Revio and #Vega in 2026! 🚀

Check out updates including SPRQ chemistry, richer multiomic data, multi-use SMRT Cells, lower DNA input, and 21 CFR 11 compliance.

Day 1 at #PAG2026 is done ✅ Thanks to everyone who stopped by (and kept our booth busy!) to talk Fiber-seq and beyond. Come see us at booth 329 today, and be sure to catch Keith and Hannah’s posters in the poster sessions. What are you most excited to see at PAG today? 🔬

Our #PAG2026 industry workshop is tomorrow at 10:30 am in Town and Country Room D. Hear from Dr. Andrew Sharpe, Senior Research Scientist at the Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) and Dr. Christoper Chen, UCCE Integrated Vineyard Systems Advisor.

Interested in hearing the latest ag-genomics research from our NEBNext scientists at #PAG2026? Visit Scott Adams at poster P362 today from 10AM-11:30AM. #NGS #PAG33

What’s happening with Ireland's honeybees? Julia Jones found that while pest-herb-fungicides in pollen are relatively low, they are still affecting bee gut bacteria. Exposure to these chemicals decreased 30+ beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Snodgrassella. #BeeHealth #Microbiome #PAG2026

Martin Hasselmann’s research shows East African honeybees use a 600kb chromosomal inversion to thrive at high altitudes. Highland bees are mostly homozygous for the inversion, which is linked to lower expression of Octopamine receptor beta-1 (linked to memory & foraging). #BeeScience #PAG2026 #PAG33

Modest Markus Sommer suggests that 8-23% of rice genes in the Ensembl annotation might not actually be real proteins. PSAURON is a new, fast tool that uses deep learning to assign a "protein likelihood" score to your gene models, helping to clean up false positives in your annotation. #PAG2026

Aleksey Zimin presents EVIANN (Evidence-based Annotation) While it does not drastically increase the accuracy over existing tools, its speed is ultrafast, can use ONT transcripts, creates UTRs and lncRNAs. #Bioinformatics #Genomics #Coding #PAG33 #PAG2026

Research by Venkatasubbu Thirulogachandar combines high-resolution sequencing, spatial validation (sm-FISH), and mutations to dissect barley primordia. He tracked where genes express revealing that HvMND6 acts as an axillary meristem coordinator #Barley #PlantSci #Genomics #PAG33 #PAG2026

Song Li’s benchmarking shows that for single cell genomics gene co-expression, Pearson correlation and bicor on raw counts actually outperform filtered or scaled data. Surprisingly, using raw counts provided more reliable metrics than traditional normalization or scaling. #singlecell #pag33 #pag2026

Single cell genomics rigor: where mathematicians confuse biologists resulting in reduced dimensions that confuse mathematicians. #PAG2026 #PAG33 #SingleCell #Genomics

Vidya S. Vuruputoor's work on Funaria hygrometrica shows how whole-genome duplication triggers an immediate genomic shock in moss, largely mediated by transposable elements and methylation patterns in up to 14% of the gene space. #PlantSci #Genetics #Evolution #PAG33 #PAG2026

Allison Roberts' work in Physcomitrium patens (moss) shows fundamental differences between the standard cellulose machinery (CESA) and its more agile cousin (CSLD). CESA-deficient moss looks normal at first, its buds lose integrity and literally burst. #PlantSci #CellBiology #Moss #PAG33 #PAG2026

Han Yang uses B chromosomes in maize to show they cause DSB with knobs, but more importantly also can cause nondisjunction of the entire A genome, creating diploid sperm. Because maize can heterofertlilize, these triploid embryos can survive. Very cool work #maize #PAG2026 #PAG33 #Cytogenetics

Research by Xingtan (Vera) Yu provides a high-resolution look at how heat stress (HS) effectively reprograms the bovine mammary gland, forcing cells to prioritize survival over milk production. #DairyScience #Heatstress #AgTech #PAG33 #PAG2026

Rachel Shahan’s team used a scRNAseq atlas to track root cells in 12-hour increments ove 10 days. They found that MADS-box TFs, the same ones that control flowering time, also regulate the root's transition from juvenile to adult in arabidopsis! #PlantScience #Roots #Aging #Genetics #PAG2026 #PAG33

We are excited to meet you in San Diego at #PAG2026! Stop by and meet the commercial and technical teams at Booth 118.
