This #DNA day we celebrate Fred Sanger, who pioneered the dideoxy method for sequencing DNA. This revolutionised the field of genomics and was crucial to the Human Genome Project.

Super proud of Landon Knack!
ONLY pitcher to go 7 IP last year for OKC (Per Alex Freedman). Innings eater when healthy, super competitive, ETSU Baseball & WaltersStBaseball will vouch, master problem solver, VERY skilled AND talented. Kept sequencing to get Nats off FB. #dodgers
Whole genome sequencing finds genetically identical #SARSCoV2 infected 2 ppl admitted to a hospital rm 1h 43 mins & 4h 45 mins after discharge of an asymptomatic pt w/ #COVID19 . Virus may be in air & capable of infecting us for >4h in hospital. #MedTwitter ajicjournal.org/article/S0196-…
Museum collections are an amazing resource for developing #DNAbarcoding reference libraries, especially thanks to advanced DNA-extraction and sequencing technologies enabling DNA analysis without damaging the precious museum material! 👏🪰🧬
KeyGene has optimised high molecular weight (HMW) nuclear DNA 🧬 protocols for vegetables 🥬, field crops 🌽, ornamentals 🌺 and berries 🫐. HMW DNA is a prerequisite for long read Oxford Nanopore sequencing. #worldDNADay #innovation
💡 Automating the QIAseq Targeted DNA Pro Panels on the Biomek i7 Hybrid workstation delivers high-quality sequencing-ready libraries in under 7 hours, enabling ultrasensitive variant detection. Read application note 👇

An immunocompromised man (72) had infective Covid for over 600 days as his body couldn't mount a significant immune response against it. The virus mutated inside him leading to a new immune-evasive variant. This emphasizes the need for ongoing sequencing.
