Update on our high school student summer project using our NVIDIA Embedded Jetson with Nanopore adaptive sampling. What an amazing tool! Excited to try out in the field on soil metagenomic samples in the Arctic. Thanks again to Thanks Miles Benton for the detailed instructions

I want to join but I don't want to mess up the perfect number 😑 Sebastian S. Cocioba🪄🌷

Anyone ever used the Cacao Genome Database? When you click any of these tools, you're always sent to to the homepage. Are these real?

I want to travel around the Philippines bringing a MinION and sequence backyard cacao and recreate Montemayor et al (2008) Then do the same in Mexico (where we got our cacao 400 years ago). Which genes are normally sequenced for this kind of project? (cheapest version pls)

7 technologies to watch in 2022 nature include #CRISPR based diagnostics. Exciting news for Open Bioeconomy Lab as we head to Cameroon tomorrow to launch the CRISPRDx Academy MboaLab. Can we make 2022 the year that equity in (bio)tech takes centre stage? nature.com/articles/d4158…

The grand opening of MboaLab bio innovation hub in Cameroon for molecular diagnostics and #synbio training & co-working is <12 hours away! The team has been all hands on deck today and we're grateful for the crucial funding support of Cambridge University Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Shuttleworth

Got the HackerNoon | Learn Any Technology Contributor of the Year Award for Science! 🏆 Thanks to everyone for the support, especially to Sam Bhagwat and Nicole Wheeler for reading and giving feedback to earlier versions of this article, and to team iGEM Friendzymes for the inspiration hackernoon.com/how-open-sourc…

We're gonna do an indoor version of this in a couple of months Next step is to sequence in the mountains ⛰️ or the seas 🌊 possibly within the year!🤞🏽

Back though to epigenetics; I sort of wish we always used specific phrases for each definition, eg "behavioural transmission" or "mitosis persistent cell identity" or "DNA modification". It would make many conversations more productive.

On the eve of the 2016 Philippine pres. elections, I encountered an article that explored the use of Google trends to predict election outcomes, by Kahlil Corazo 🧭 Explorations.ph in Apr 2016. Back-tested with prior elections in other counties. TL;DR It predicted a Duterte win. corazo.org/can-search-vol…

Good thread on how information evolves.

“The most common explanation — that they were victims of disinformation — just didn’t sound complete. It felt like there was something deeper going on.” “Why Did the Philippines — Including Some Friends — Elect the Dictator’s Son?” by Kahlil Corazo link.medium.com/e8oPFkZ2Aqb
