Today was one of those truly amazing days that don't come alone to often. We took delivery of our @illumina #NovaSeqX plus. We look forward to bringing faster, better, cheaper sequencing to all our collaborators/clients from around the world, serving scientists in @AgriLife @TAMU

For those looking for a overview of low-pass (coverage) genotyping and reduce representation methods (RADseq), this is a wonderful paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

NovaSeq X innovation continues—delivering what customers asked for: staggered runs, a new 5B flow cell for flexibility, and longer reads on the 1.5B flow cell (up to 300 cycles). Plus, software v1.4 brings improved quality, performance, and usable output. #ASHG25 (4/6)

We just got a physical proofs back from @bicyclecards . We should have @TXGEN DNA playing card decks in a few weeks! Email us if you'd like a deck at [email protected], still working on logistics. Thanks for all the help from @AgriLife marketing for their design support.

I was told today that my group has a Zen-like reputation in the sequencing world. Not 💯 sure what they meant but I’ll take it as we are cool under pressure. Anyway, it was a very kind thing for them to say. Creating a calm lab env. for a wildly stressful job is by design


Another great prime-rib dinner at the @AgriLife Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course. Hat’s off for dinner, my grandma would approve.

I missed this paper when in came out in 2018, as we had long ago moved away from any flavor of RADSeq to low coverage WGS. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20… I found this part of the abstract both funny and true, but all too common. Minor change, name change! new pub!

Benefit of qualifying swag! 7 and 8 years going strong. @agbt backpacks 🎒 2018 has to by my favorite for travel… its huge & sturdy with a few customizations.

Just like it was yesterday! What a year. x.com/BioMath/status…

Still feels like yesterday 🤠 Thanks for making Texas-sized memories with the 12th Man. 👍 #GigEm #KyleField #AggieSpirit



News for the morning crowd! We are NOT raising prices.

While others adjust pricing due to tariff surcharges, we are not raising prices. Any quotes issued this summer will be honored for at least 180 days. We will also do our best to honor any quote that is part of a grant written this summer, regardless of when those funds come in.

Interesting paper by @Apple AI researchers: LLMs don’t actually think and aren't good at complex problems. Full paper (pdf): ml-site.cdn-apple.com/papers/the-ill…

Congrats @jjminich look at the slide.

Great keynote talk at #SFAF by Rob Knight, summarizing key innovations in #microbiome research over the past decade. One recent highlight is how long reads have transformed #metagenome assembly, particularly @PacBio HiFi reads. The future is complete MAGs!

Great quote @mattloose !

Knowledge is power. In the studio, Matt Loose shared insights on rapid CNS profiling — and how one participant told him: “Even if the answer isn’t what you want, it’s better than not knowing at all.”



A little #ChatGTP art fun for a Wednesday. Thanks Cody Cain at @nanopore for the prompt

New display for the @TxGen office. The background is from my invited talk at #PAG24 @Illumina workshop. Illumina was nice enough to let me keep the cloth banner and we put it up on our wall. The deer horn was dropped in my front yard, country living!
