🧧🧧🧧🧧 So another exciting finding for the weekend before I go on vacation. *FFPE Ligation Sequencing for ALL!* For a long while it was thought that ligation (i.e. native DNA) sequencing on @nanoporetech.com was difficult, if not impossible.

Want to join us in Birmingham?! In a few months the University of Birmingham will be re-opening its 125th Anniversary Chair and Fellows Scheme. One of our strengths currently in the lab is organoid modelling, genomic medicine and Nanopore sequencing, especially in cancer.

Trying to improve somatic cancer genomic testing in the NHS at the moment feels like an Esherian/Penrose staircase. Always falling. Immensely painful. It is almost as if we want to go backwards as a healthcare system.
