The MinION Mk1c combines the real-time, rapid, portable sequencing of MinION and Flongle with real-time, powerful GPU based computing and a high resolution screen. Pre-order in the store: bit.ly/2MuaA09 or register your interest: bit.ly/2MrTmAB

Illumina James Hadfield James with the NovaSeq there is no limit. We have multiplexed many times >5000 samples on one S4XP flow cell. Using a mixture of UDI and combinatorial barcodes. 10-20 different projects.

We are hiring. Technologist position, full-time, 1 year fixed term at Auckland Genomics. Please apply! We are looking for someone with genomics skills to join our great team, details here: smartrecruiters.com/TheUniversityO… Please RT.

Note: The GridION is available at Otago Genomics, not Genetics Otago - one of only three GridIONs in Aotearoa (I believe), so get in touch with them if you want to so some nanopore sequencing or adaptive sampling!

Breaking news: Queenstown Research Week will be running live and in person from 30 Aug-2 Sept 2021. Lookout for details and get in quick with accom and travel to avoid all the bubble travellers from Aus.

At the #nanoporeconf, Lara Urban shared her research into leveraging adaptive sampling of eDNA to monitor the critically endangered kākāpō. Lara went on to explain how monitoring was straightforward to set up & is being applied to other projects. Watch: bit.ly/3wzEm9E
