Koreans love an iced Americano coffee… even when it’s zero degrees C.

MoU signed between South African Medical Research Council, Department of Science, Technology & Innovation and Illumina for a comprehensive 110K sample national genomic reference database. Exciting news for Africa and genomics. www.samrc.ac.za/press-releas...

iPhone 17 delivery date pushed from 22nd October to 17th November... What is going on at #Apple? Will it make it to stores before Christmas?

Good info presented by Illumina R&D folks at ASHG last week. Isoform detection in single cells pairing Illumina 3' Single Cell RNA library prep and MiSeq i100 600 cycle kits on 50M reads flow cells. NovaSeq X 600 cycle kits not far away either! #illumina #singlecell #isoforms #SpliceVariants

Illumina constellation technology gets a preprint after ASHG. Detecting complex genomic variants in samples that could not be assessed with traditional long reads. #Sedlazeck www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

MiSeq i100 1000 cycle kits. Shipping week of 20th October. Next week! This is going to open a lot of applications. Illumina does it again, only short read technology doing 1000 cycles. #MiSeq #illumina

The BEST part about 0% alcohol beer is that after 3 hours of yard work in 28deg C heat… it’s ok to drink at 11am. #peroni

Dr Jingni He, one of our research fellows has been selected for one of Illumina's coveted awards, the 2025 Neurogenomics research award for #multiplesclerosis🏅#neuroscience #genomics Read more - sapac.illumina.com/company/news...

I was blown away by this promo, everyone loves a bargain! Illumina NextSeq 2000 looking more attractive than ever before. Offer valid until 15th Dec 2025. bit.ly/4nBF2WW

Some very impressive numbers coming from Australian Sequencing provider AGRF Ltd. Best 25B flow cell output at over 11Tb on Illumina NovaSeq X.

Happy 3rd birthday to the NovaSeq X! Seems like only yesterday illumina launched their fast, high throughput technology. Time sure does fly. #WholeGenome #sequencing #singlecell #proteomics #multiomics #DRAGEN www.illumina.com/company/news...

I wonder what could possibly happen when the illumina marketing guy and the illumina social media guy meet up for dinner in San Diego?

I’ve come to the conclusions that Americans.. Californians? really struggle with my accent. Have to slow right down and annunciate.

Anybody within a reasonable drive of Providence happen to have an Illumina MiniSeq crate or the shipping rails for a NextSeq?

My favourite sound in the world is that of Mitchell Starc scattering batters stumps. #cricket #TestCricket #ASMR

Fluffy white bread toast with butter is my weakness in winter.

More good news… read about the benefits and workflow of illumina 5 base methylation library prep solution. More information out of single sample! www.illumina.com/science/geno...

Illumina Single Cell Prep Product Management team heard the calls. PDF manual available now! www.linkedin.com/posts/rea-da...

@ukbiobank.bsky.social just dropped their article on whole genome analysis of 490K human samples. Illumina sequencing and DRAGEN to help power the analysis of all those samples www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧬 Sequencing smiles! David, Andrew, and Fredy celebrate a smooth run on the NextSeq 500 with the Glasgow team.

Trying black coffee for early morning meetings today. Wish me luck! ☕️ #coffee #genomics #workfromhome

New toys out here in the Kelly lab! #ednacollab. Miseq i100. Cheaper runs, higuer output, and no instrument fluidics! So no risk of carryover and no maintenamce washes. Are the 2x500 cycle kits that are coming up going to live up to the hype? We shall see #eDNA #metabarcoding

My #Hottest100 Australian songs ever. Yes I am old, but this is a banger of a list.

The software updates on NovaSeq X Series really do improve performance, quality and output. It's all documented in the #illumina blog- sapac.illumina.com/science/geno...

Genetics breakthrough you can’t ignore— On July 16, join Illumina's Digital CoLab to see how Constellation, a novel flow cell whole-genome assay, delivers: ✅Greater insights than traditional sequencing ✅A refined sequencing approach Register: bit.ly/44Dd5pu #ASHG

Bi-annual conference time in Japan. Wonder what has changed in #science #singlecell #cellbiology #spatial #genomics.

Out of ~75 universities I have visited. There’s no place like home! #UNSW and @ramacgenomics.bsky.social still gives me the best vibes! #Science #alumni #BABS

Heading to Japan next week and giving a lunchtime seminar at the 15th International Workshop on Advanced Genomics covering the latest from Illumina. First conference of the year!

Probably can't say too much more about this other than post a press release from Illumina. www.illumina.com/company/news...

So satisfying 🤤 #MiSeqi100 @ramacgenomics.bsky.social

Great work out of the #illumina Artificial Intelligence Labs pubklised in @science.org today. PromotorAI to help call variants in non-coding promoter regions of genes. #DRAGEN #GeneRegulation #VariantCalling #WES #WGS

There was a time when #ozsinglecell25 conference social media activity was like drinking from a fire hose. Guess it’s back to “you should have been there”

Thankfully… my wife has just borrowed this monstrosity! I can’t think of a thing to cook in an #AirFryer

#Illumina “Dusted off a project that was probably 6 years old” Constellation technology brought older projects back into the limelight. youtu.be/eYNuur2eh5I?...

Still a sucker for useful conference swag… #BioRad and #illumina reusable shopping bags to the rescue for fruit and veg!

Lots of cool new things with DRAGEN v4.4. How do they keep improving this tool??? Blows my mind. My favourite things are: 1- Oncology- Heme, Tumor/Normal and MRD WGS applications with push of a button. 1/n developer.illumina.com/news-updates...

So bummed.. was all locked in for @ozsinglecell.bsky.social conference, but my forced holiday means I can’t go!! 😭😭😭

Today… I made the best coffee I’ve ever made. I think I’ve been heating the milk too much previously with the steam wand. More testing required. #Coffee #MilkFrothing #GardeningLeave

It blows my mind that I have to worry about and educate my children on drink spiking. Horrendous people out there.

Every day is Saturday at the moment. Coffee with my wife, then lunch at the local Pho restaurant! It’s a great start to the weekend

My 15 year old Panasonic blu-ray and HDD recorder broke down today. Damn fine product!

The “heart stopper” burger. Smashed it and the heart is still ticking.

I really recommend this! It’s amazing to see the manufacturing floors and how the sausages (reagents) are made!

I have turned into one of those people… I bought Mother’s Day gifts on Amazon.

For the first time in my career… I’m on gardening leave.

This had me seeing red today from @genomicscow.bsky.social. If I use my friend @genomics-guy.bsky.social as an example.. I'd say the optics of Gary on the publications, were always seen as favourable from both industry and academia.

The signs are good for a top day ahead

The 15 minute dinner. Stock, Creamed corn, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, egg, corn flour, chicken and shallots on top. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

If you ever get the chance to holiday in New Zealand, I 💯 recommend. So many unusual things to see and do. The thermal pools/lakes/mud/geyser are amazing.
