In Sydney to introduce this little guy and give a preview of what we are doing in the hidden labs of #illumina. #MiSeqi100

While everyone was at conferences like ASHG and ESMO… I was at home baking gluten free bread for my son. But I was wearing my illumina merch. 🤪

Definition of old genomics guy? When you attend a conference with an old satchel from before the conference name change. #AGTA26 #illumina still there. Some recycled brands too.

Merch testing with illumina branding. I like the useful stuff.

My current top 3 favourite new products from Illumina. 1- TruPath 2- 5-base 3- 2 x 500bp MiSeq i100 kits. DRAGEN and ICM software are so important to these too.

It’s time to beat the single sock 🧦 Sock monsters 👿 are in every house and ours was hungry.

Illumina reanalyzed the 1000 Genomes Project using DRAGEN v4.4 on AWS EC2 to establish an updated analytical baseline for human genetic variation, now publicly available with pangenome-based variant calling and natural language query capabilities.

User developed protocol for Illumina 5-base methylation library prep and NEB UltraShear for enzymatic fragmentation. www.protocols.io/view/direct-...

Job Alert in Singapore: Lead some of the smartest teams at #Illumina on the charge to high-impact growth across APAC, owning both strategy and execution to deliver measurable outcomes using some of the best tools in the #genomics ecosystem. #multiomics Interested?? tinyurl.com/APACStratGro...

7th Edition of the Illumina Epigenetics Day. Register for the 2 (short) days of presentations. Registration will enable on-demand viewing in APAC regions. (Can't please everyone all the time). tinyurl.com/EpiDay2026 #Epigenetics #EPIC #5Base #methylation #genomics #illumina

It is here and available to everyone. Illumina Spatial technlogies has been renamed and launched as StrataMap Spatial solution. Big surface area, whole transcriptome, no new instrumentation burden and software that you will love to use. More info on the website: sapac.illumina.com/products/by-...

Don’t forget to apply for #illumina 5 base methylation cancer focused grant program. @cancerbioinfoau.bsky.social #oncology #WGS #sequencing #epigenetics sapac.illumina.com/techniques/s...

Been years since I commuted to work. Off to the @cancerbioinfoau.bsky.social conference today in Brisbane. Still working out what #ConferneceSwag we will have #illumina #bioinformatics #DRAGEN

For sequencing nerds and all those downstream/upstream of that some head-to-head comparison data relayed by Illumina. Source: www.illumina.com/science/geno...

We are off to the races! #illumina #oncology #MRD

In your opinion what’s the most impressive #genomics project? HGP was pretty impressive, FANTOM projects? GEL/UK Biobank? PhiX genome (how much sequencing has that had?) AllofUs? TAGC? ICGC? Billion Cell? EBP? T2T? HCA? Others?? Future projects?

Illumina publishes a new "HP homopolymer Advanced Recipe" for the NextSeq 2000 instrument line.

My friend Burak showing people how to sequence with the #MiSeqi100. #illumina

I’m torn between two feelings on 25th April. Sombre remembrance of brave service men and women on ANZAC day in Aus and NZ.. and excitement for genomics on DNA day!

I only just got used to DRAGEN v4.4…

Illumina employee number 4, CTO Steve Barnard talks to VP Ashley Van Zeeland about the early days and the #genomics waves that have happened over the last 30 years. Well... 28-ish. #podcast #TheSequence I wonder who will be next in the chair? www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hHf...

Cool Field Service Engineering role in Melbourne for #illumina. illumina.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/illumina-car...

Join the local Melbourne #illumina Field Apps team to specialise in #Bioinformatics. It's a great team, you get to play with #DRAGEN and help customers get the best data for analysis. #genomics #multiomics #singlecell #spatial #transcriptome #epigenetics bit.ly/46o4sRj I can refer the right folks.

Switch from painful #methylation protocols... #Illumina 5-Base plus #DRAGEN and Connected Multiomics make it so much easier. All from a single sample and single sequencing run. bit.ly/3MAr8qA #genomics #multiomics #epigenetics

I had nothing to do with this great idea but will happily tell those in charge it was worth it @lornegenome.bsky.social #genomics #coffee

@agbt.bsky.social is coming soon! I miss out again, but #illumina will speak about #multiomics workflows, library prep, #sequencing systems, informatics, analysis and AI. Predictions? #FOMO #DRAGEN #AGBT2026 #genomic Register for on-demand version after the event. tinyurl.com/bddk6ymt

A little bit of Illumina Seq, a little bit of ONT seq, a little bit of Helicos seq. The sample prep for seq back in the day was hectic! Very happy that his has reached pre-print and ready for review.

The annual day of boredom at work has come... Online compliance and safety video day. End me.

Hello Whiskey! 🥃

Very happy that Eric Green is joining the team at #illumina bit.ly/453yCbN

1000 MiSeq i100 boxes out in the wild for Illumina

💾 Shovill 1.4.1 has been released! The best way to de novo assemble microbial genomes from Illumina FASTQ. Major fixes to the SKESA module, plasmid mode for the Spades module, and more error checking. #bioinformatiocs #genomics #microbiology github.com/tseemann/sho...

Pretty sure that everyone is a spectator on this platform, just waiting for it take off like Twitter did.

My work laptop is about to celebrate it's 5th birthday. I'm such a lucky guy. #WhoNeedsUpToDateTechnology?

I don't often log onto BlueSky.. but every time I do, this ear worm gets into my head.

Koreans love an iced Americano coffee… even when it’s zero degrees C.

MoU signed between South African Medical Research Council, Department of Science, Technology & Innovation and Illumina for a comprehensive 110K sample national genomic reference database. Exciting news for Africa and genomics. www.samrc.ac.za/press-releas...

iPhone 17 delivery date pushed from 22nd October to 17th November... What is going on at #Apple? Will it make it to stores before Christmas?

Good info presented by Illumina R&D folks at ASHG last week. Isoform detection in single cells pairing Illumina 3' Single Cell RNA library prep and MiSeq i100 600 cycle kits on 50M reads flow cells. NovaSeq X 600 cycle kits not far away either! #illumina #singlecell #isoforms #SpliceVariants

Illumina constellation technology gets a preprint after ASHG. Detecting complex genomic variants in samples that could not be assessed with traditional long reads. #Sedlazeck www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

MiSeq i100 1000 cycle kits. Shipping week of 20th October. Next week! This is going to open a lot of applications. Illumina does it again, only short read technology doing 1000 cycles. #MiSeq #illumina

The BEST part about 0% alcohol beer is that after 3 hours of yard work in 28deg C heat… it’s ok to drink at 11am. #peroni

Dr Jingni He, one of our research fellows has been selected for one of Illumina's coveted awards, the 2025 Neurogenomics research award for #multiplesclerosis🏅#neuroscience #genomics Read more - sapac.illumina.com/company/news...

I was blown away by this promo, everyone loves a bargain! Illumina NextSeq 2000 looking more attractive than ever before. Offer valid until 15th Dec 2025. bit.ly/4nBF2WW

Some very impressive numbers coming from Australian Sequencing provider AGRF Ltd. Best 25B flow cell output at over 11Tb on Illumina NovaSeq X.
