On Monday, we effortlessly set up the Oxford Oxford Nanopore PromethION 2 Solo, a sleek, plug-and-play long-read sequencing instrument in our lab. Thanks to DIPLOMICS for their support in making these projects possible!

📢Excited to share: The Veldkos | Field Food DNA Project kicks off on Monday! It's a first in RSA and we're looking forward to welcoming our 12 participants. Stay tuned for updates as we delve into the world of #Genomics together!🧬 #VeldkosFieldFoodDNAProject #nextgensequencing

Finally, it's time! The Veldkos | Field Food DNA Project kicked off today! Only being introduced to a molecular lab this morning, the learners are already grasping concepts and handling equipment confidently. #nextgendoingnextgen #sequencing #VeldkosFieldFoodDNAProject🧬👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬

Day 3 of #VeldkosFieldFoodDNAProject delivered lots of nervous excitement as learners loaded their libraries onto the #ONTP2Solo for #sequencing. Thanks to funders DIPLOMICS for popping by and sharing their career paths with the participants! #nextgendoingnextgen🧬🧑‍🎓🧑‍🔬

Week 1 #VeldkosFieldFoodDNAProject = ✅! Huge shoutout to our Grade 11 rockstars! Their Oxford Nanopore P2 Solo sequencing run is still on fire, churning out a whopping 144 Gb of data with an impressive N50 read length of 20 kb! Data analysis in July! DIPLOMICS WCEDNews @dsigovza
