As we see videos in social media of the first $PACB PacBio Revio to enter the @broadinstitute , with the promise of the long-read $1000/genome in place, what does it look like today to set up a Next-Generation Sequencing factory/institute?

https://twitter.com/AlbertVilella/status/1624465272496168965

@broadinstitute

There have been many of these institutes come and go, and probably the @broadinstitute (Cambridge, US) and the @sangerinstitute (Cambridge, UK) are the two referents in historical terms and in their magnitude of achievements in #genomics. So if we take them as an example, what do

we learn from them?
1) They were successful at being early adopters of large-scale Sanger Sequencing.
2) They were very well funded from the get-go, and contributed in large part to the success of sequencing the reference #human #genome in 2000-2001.

Oxford Nanopore

@nanopore

As 2022 draws to a close, we’ve been reflecting on some of the highlights (in no particular order) — you can read the full article here: bit.ly/3IfaKYc, or digest the thread below. Wishing you a happy new year and all the best for 2023! 1/23

The #cancer research community has made huge strides leveraging the unique attributes of #nanopore sequencing to characterise cancer at unprecedented resolution, unlocking previously hidden variation and accelerating research to support human health. nanoporetech.com/cancer-research 2/23

@mdelledon

In May, @mdelledon took a group of scientists into the Gobi Desert to capture small mammals, including bats, to study their microbiome and they set up a genomics lab in a tent. They demonstrated the utility of the MinION in the harsh, off grid and sandy desert environment! 3/23

2/ If you need the sequence of a single #gene, you can search for the gene symbol or ID from Ensembl homepage and click on ‘Sequence’ in the menu on the left

3/ From this page, you can download the sequence of the gene by clicking on the blue ‘Download Sequence’ button just above the sequence display.

Also kudos to all our collaborators @TastekinIbrahim @EzraGili @fern1_ana @BartDeplancke @albinojorgemai @alisson_gontijo which allowed us to expand the scope of our study and contributed critical insights. It takes a village 2/22

The sequencing of #genomes has been a major milestone in #biology. We have precise maps of the #genome of animals and we think that we know all the major players. Especially the conserved ones which are so important that most animals have them. But is it really like that? 3/22

Are you interested in learning about #bioinformatics and working with #genomic data? Here's a detailed #learning path to get you started:

To build a strong foundation in biology, you'll need to learn about:

The #structure and #function of #cells, including the various #organelles and their roles in the cell. This will help you understand how cells work and how they carry out essential functions such as #metabolism and #energy production.

Il paraît que ce post a énervé beaucoup de gens réveillés? Je ne fais qu'analyser et expliquer des études scientifiques, comme depuis 2 ans. Et j'ai encore 2-3 arguments pour en finir avec la théorie de Lanka ou Kaufman que les #virus n'existeraient pas.⏬

https://twitter.com/mmtchi/status/1555941538777255936

Les détracteurs de #virus disent qu'ils "sont confondus avec des #exosomes. Faux & facile à prouver.
Les exosomes, produits par nos cellules, jouent un rôle de messagers. Ils ont une forme sphérique et peuvent #ressembler au virus.
Mais à cause de cette similitude, certains...⏬

Certains affirment que les virus n'existent pas car ils sont confondus avec des #exosomes.
Alors voilà quelques #virus, Ebola, #adénovirus (structure à 20faces), SARSCov2.
En bas voyez des exosomes, à bicouche lipidique. europepmc.org/article/PMC/PM…
Donc non, on n'a rien confondu.⏬

Picking up where @rita_rebollo left, we spent a couple of years annotating and analyzing the rest of the rice #weevil #genome (ok, the 15% left after removing repeats)! All info presented here is on the huge Additional file 2 in @BMCBiology doi.org/10.1186/s12915… 1/n

@VargasChavezC

@VargasChavezC and @gabaldonlab performed a comprehensive #phylogenomic analysis of the rice #weevil and found that this insect has a high gene expansion rate when compared to other beetles. 2/n

@INRAE_UMR_BF2I

With the invaluable help of the SymT group from @INRAE_UMR_BF2I we have also reconstructed the #metabolic pathways from both #symbiotic partners. Specific losses of enzymes in the #weevil genome are limited while its #endosymbiont has suffered much more degradation. 3/n

⭐️ It is with immense pleasure that we share with you the published #Sitophilus oryzae #genome paper in @BMCBiology doi.org/10.1186/s12915… 1/n

S. oryzae is a #coleopteran capable of destroying entire cereal crops posing a significant threat to the food security of many developing countries. The female #weevil lays ~300 eggs during its lifetime. They develop within the cereal grain until a ~3 day old adult emerges 2/n

Cereal grains are nutritionally poor, and S. oryzae partnered with a gram- bacterium that complements its diet. The bacteria are present within specialized insect cells, called #bacteriocytes. Check here for our latest research on this #symbiosis doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…. 3/n
