What is a genome equivalent, and why does it matter when planning next-generation sequencing (NGS) experiments? This video describes the relationship between the number of genome equivalents in an NGS sample and the theoretical maximum coverage depth achievable for that sample. It also explains how understanding genome equivalents can help with experiment planning and increase the quality of NGS data, especially in hybrid-capture target enrichment workflows. http://spkl.io/60444Sca2 #Genomics #NextGenSequencing #NGS #LifeScience

The annual Advances in Genome Biology and Technology conference was last week. Join me for a round-up of all the coolest news from the show! In this weekend’s premium member ($5/month) issue of Omicly, I scour the internet, and fight the ads on twitter, to bring you all of the most important announcements from AGBT! But if industry tech updates (and my colorful commentary on them) aren't your thing, this week’s free issue has: 1) 80% of patients with an autoimmune disease are women, we are now beginning to understand why 2) Mass Spec is leading the charge in bringing high-throughput proteomics to a lab near you 3) The "most beautiful experiment in biology" was performed by Meselson and Stahl in 1957 And, Supporters ($1/month) and above also get access to the Omicly Weekly Reading List which includes links to Omics related news articles and research papers!

Did you know that #DNADay, April 25th, marks the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 and the discovery of DNA's double helix structure in 1953? These monumental milestones revolutionized the way we understand and study genetics, opening up a world of possibilities for scientific inquiry and discovery. #NationalDNADay is a global movement to mobilize, energize and empower communities, educators and students by celebrating the promise of our shared humanity and connection to the natural world. At Floragenex, we are passionate about harnessing the power of #genomics to drive meaningful and impactful research. Through our genomic sequencing services, we empower researchers and scientists to dig deeper into the secrets of #DNA and unlock new insights. Whether it's unravelling the genetic diversity of plant and animal species, investigating disease mechanisms, or improving crop traits, our advanced sequencing technologies and expert analysis help researchers make breakthrough discoveries. For more information or resources about National DNA Day, visit the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) website: https://lnkd.in/dzxVjnw.

Happy (early) Fourth of July from TubeWriter! 🎇 Take a look! Our very own Manuel Gamboa Jr. was able to print the American Flag and two lines of text on a 25x95mm Drosophila vial. With the TubeWriter 400 you can print logos and images! Did you know? Drosophila, the tiny fruit fly, has been a superstar in genetic research for over a century! With a speedy life cycle of just 10 days, it's perfect for quick genetic studies. Despite its size, this little fly shares a surprising number of genes with humans, making it a fantastic tool for studying human diseases. Let's chat about how TubeWriter can transform your processes: https://bit.ly/4eDjapU #NOSTICKERS #LabEfficiency #TubeLabeling #FourthofJuly #HappyFourth

FGG is the greatest advance in the use of DNA since the start of DNA typing over a generation ago. Next generation sequencing is now the sequencing method of our generation

This day commemorates the discovery of DNA's double helix structure by Watson, Crick, Wilkins, and Franklin in 1953, as well as the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003, which accelerated DNA research and its forensic use. We recognize National DNA Day and celebrate the advancements and applications of #DNA technology in forensic science. #forensics

Today is #WorldDNADay 🧬, and I couldn't let it pass without acknowledging the groundbreaking discovery of the double helix and tremendous accomplishment of completing the Human Genome Project more than 20 years ago. As a chemist whose work has centered on genomics and aiming to realize a sequencing device to bridge bench to beside, I have consistently been in awe and overwhelmingly inspired by the advancements we have today because of these two monumental moments in DNA history.

📈 The dramatic growth of forensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG) for missing persons and criminal casework is changing the face of human identity testing. Depending on the number of DNA markers targeted, FIGG uses different underlying bioinformatic pathways for kinship testing. This leaves many scientists uncertain and perhaps even wary of the process.  Our synopsis of the recent paper in FSI:Genetics by Snedecor et al. summarizes the kinship algorithm used for searching ForenSeq Kintelligence profiles in GEDmatch PRO in simple, transparent terms. This is a great tool for any scientist wanting to better understand the options they have for implementing FIGG for their own casework.

Importance of Genome

I hope many of you attended our webinar. I would be please to get your comments on at least the following question: “What would you do if you had access to multiple transposases and transposons?”
