A lovely spring day at the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney🌺

Another interesting conference! Parice Brandies Luke Silver

Biscuit the cat has got a new friend 🐰☺️

Just finished recording my short talk about PacBio based MHC typing in the Tasmanian devil for the #BioGenomics20 conference. Zoom presentation is hard! I was more awkward than usual🤦‍♀️ Please come see me in the Sequencing session on 8 Oct ☺️

Trick or treat? The #TAMAtools paper is finally out! Thank you to all the authors Yuanyuan Cheng runxuan John W.S. Brown Jacqueline Smith Alan Archibald David Burt bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

First visit to the upgraded #AustralianMuseum! Love the dinosaur exhibition 🦖 Spotted a special mention of the koala genome ☺️

After a very long journey, the last paper of my #PhD has been published! 🎉 doi.org/10.1186/s12915… This article combines two of our preprints. See thread and share! #Symbiodinium #Symbiodiniaceae #Genomics

📣Want to learn more about Hi-C & genome scaffolding? Please join our genome assembly webinar series next month, provided by Dovetail Genomics 🧬 More info & registration: bit.ly/32cXqxh Australian BioCommons Threatened Species Initiative CIs - please pass this info on to your students & postdocs

Will be talking about MHC (my favourite genes!) at #SMRTLeiden conference next week 😊 MHC typing in non-model species doesn't have to be a nightmare! Shout-out to co-authors Catherine Grueber Prof Carolyn Hogg Kathy Belov

Happy to share our preprint of how we can potentially enhance antigen presentation in transmissible devil facial tumour cells by inducing MHC-II expression #dftd #mhc #tasmaniandevil Andy Flies Dr Hannah Siddle Yuanyuan Cheng

Seeing words like "antigen" and "PCR" on a road sign while driving feels surreal...🤯

Looking forward to giving my first Nanopore RNA sequencing talk in September. Secretly, the most exciting part for me is to visit the Edinburgh Zoo 🥰

Amazing new devil paper out today by colleagues at TCG, Cambridge "The evolution of two transmissible cancers in Tasmanian devils" Fantastic new chromosome length ref genome & insights into transmissible cancers tinyurl.com/3umddhma Kathy Belov Yuanyuan Cheng Sydney Science

.Wobble Genomics, a spinout from the University of Edinburgh’s The Roslin Institute with a novel approach to RNA sequencing, has raised £8.5m to help commercialise its technology. go.digit.fyi/435xCl6 #Tech | #News | #Genomics

Generated ~80-100mln reads per Oxford Nanopore PromethION flow cell @keygene using Wobble Genomics normalized cDNA on 🌱 samples. Below you see an image of the effect on 5 most abundant spike-in control transcripts. #isoforms #annotation #raretranscripts

Congratulations to the whole Wobble team! 🥳 Wobble Genomics Richard Kuo Björn Geigle

At my first London Calling! 🥳 Can't wait to hear all about the latest discoveries and innovations #nanoporeconf

Passionate about long-read RNA sequencing and bioinformatics? Join our innovative start-up in Edinburgh as a bioinformatician at Wobble Genomics! If you're attending #RNA24, message me or meet me and Yuanyuan Cheng at the conference.

Puffins!! 🤩 📍North Berwick, Scotland

Visited the Bass Rock, home to tens of thousands of northern gannets. The sight was truly breathtaking, especially amazing to witness after the HPAI outbreak two years ago. Nature is resilient. Too bad my photos don't do it justice at all!!
