QIB Core Sequencing

Thrilled to be featured in @Apple's latest launch! The Oxford Nanopore platform, with M4 tech, now enables basecalling up to 23x faster—showcasing the power of the pair in helping to enable the analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere. Learn more: nanoporetech.com/blog/news-blog…

Great to see some legends of the game 🧪🔬🖥️🦠☕ @sheppard_lab Prof Nick Thomson and Prof Alan McNally

Great to host friend and colleague Prof. Amirul Islam Mallick @iiserkol at the @LSHTM as part of the partnership to address animal diseases and health 🦠🔬🧫🐥 @BBSRC @DBTIndia @SubhadeepG0794

My team @NUOMICS are looking for a scientific officer initially until end of Nov 25. Experience of DNA sequencing @PacBio @illumina, @nanopore or molecular biology advantageous. Great experience to come and work in a busy externally facing genomics service tinyurl.com/37vew5ez

🚨 We're very happy to announce the #CampyUK2025 meeting in @UniofOxford, which will focus on #AMR in collaboration with @IneosOxford 🗓️Save the date: 24th-25th September 2025 📝Register your interest on our website: campyuk.web.ox.ac.uk

For all Campylobacter enthusiasts/opponents, we are hosting the @CampyUK2025 conference in Oxford in September. campyuk.web.ox.ac.uk

Interesting technology presented by @RocheSequencing today. My take-home 1) Quality is good, 2) it’s scalable, 3) read length of up to 1000 bp, and 4) it’s very fast. So, how much is it and when will it be available? They had me very interested as soon as they said '”scalable”.

Strengthening microbial risk assessment for food safety & AMR using @nanopore. Thanks to @NMIMR_UG, @AfricaSeq @FAO for empowering African scientists & institutions. Let's utilize @nanopore platforms we have received from @AfricaPGI to perform bacteria sequencing @Wande_A

Exciting news! 🚀 Our latest research, published in @MicrobioSoc journal, explores the nisin O cluster dissemination, candidate leader peptide proteases, and regulatory systems. Read more: microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

So excited that my first first-author paper is now published in Viruses! In this paper we looked at bias and reproducibility of RNA+DNA faecal virome metagenomic approaches, and compared reverse transcription and PCR amplification using WTA2 and SISPA. 1/4 mdpi.com/1999-4915/17/2…

New preprint in the team! We characterise how the host unfolded protein response is a critical mediator in Campylobacter jejuni pathogenesis and host defence. Fantastic work by recently completed PhD student Gemma Hong 🧪🧫🦠👩🏾‍🔬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Collaborative training and implementation of @nanopore sequencing at @UMSA_UPCT in @UPCToficial with @EnriquetaGarc @QIBSequencing @TheQuadram

Congratulations!!!

We're hiring! 🚨Looking for a Microbiology Research Assistant to join our team & work on encapsulation of gut commensal bacteria! A great opportunity for those interested in gut microbiota, probiotics, & human gut health 🥼🧫 #ResearchAssistantOpportunity #Microbiome #Probiotics

First impressions of the @illumina MiSeq i100: 12:11-prep started, 12:16-run started (PE150-8-8,25M FC), 18:19-run will finish. We launched the run pre-training (disclaimer: my team is sequencing-pro level). Handling is as user-friendly as promised. Data quality update to follow!
