Providing deep scientific insight into #AGTA24 for anyone following along at home:

A delight to talk about the not-as-silly-as-they-sound emoji bioinformatics tools FASTQE and Biomojify at #AGTA24

Education is a pillar of research, and education thrives on engagement.

Contributions and examples of use in the wild always welcome!

First in-the-flesh look at the @MGI_Technology CycloneSeq-WT02 #nanopore sequencer at #AGTA24
Oddly familiar vibes, but the flowcells are slightly larger, heavier and feel solid. 4k pores, which are derived from a thermophilic microbe identified during a Mariana Trench expedition

Cellular cancer genomics legend @dralexswarbrick pitching cancer 'Ecotypes' at #AGTA24 as a means to classify patients based on the diversity of cellular populations in their biopsies. Preliminary data suggest better association with diagnoses and prognoses than genomic profiles

Dr Annabel Whibley from @BragatoResearch opens up day 3 of #AGTA24="/hashtag/AGTA24" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#AGTA24 on the T2T genome assembly of the NZ Sauvignon Blanc grape. Also epigenomic profiling to define terroir properties + the prospective use of #RNA as an agile modulator for grape production & pest control #AGTA24

#AGTA24 is my first @agtaGenomics meeting since #AGTA18
I'm stunned by the amount of presentations that include @nanopore sequencing; from 2-3 talks back then to seemingly every other presentation now

TIL of fastqe, an emoji encoding of sequencing data files by @LonsBio, a very clever and helpful tool:

First ever public appearance of the new @illumina #MiSeqi100 at #AGTA24 in tropical North Queensland. Very slick machine, with integrated #Dragen compute!
As stated by @AntoBeck, it looks like the love child of a NovaSeq and iSeq 😅

Presenting on the perspective of generative AI in biology, PhD candidate @tanselersavas from the Mattick lab and @TheRealSmithLab at @UNSWBABS in the second to last session of #agta24 made the case for "effector AI agents" to complement LLMs and deep neural nets (1/2)

Great to be at #AGTA24 - the Australasian Genomic Technologies Association conference. Do hashtags work now in BlueSky? I've tried a BlueSky feed, will this turn up in it? Tune in next post to find out.
