To celebrate Leap Day we are offering a great promotion for your WGS, amplicon, RNAseq, or analysis services using illumina or ONT. http://seqcoast.com
👀👇🧬🧪

SeqCoast is an Oxford Nanopore @nanopore Service Certified laboratory! This certification underscores our expertise and commitment to delivering the highest quality services using the latest long-read sequencing technology.

Nanopore long-read sequencing can:
-close genomes
-identify important indels, repetitive regions, and structural variations
-produce better metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs)
-sequence RNA directly
-adaptively sample and sequence subsets

Our lab website has been updated and looks great IMO, thanks to the work and leadership of @NanamiKubota (thank you!). It includes links to open tech, PhD, and postdoc positions. Please share! http://micropopbio.org

@mikeblazanin yes, thanks for inquiring

@STCmicrobeblog thank you on both counts!

Regardless, I will continue to celebrate the 100s of publications citing MiGS that improve understanding of microbes. I also continue to run my lab’s facility and advise genomic analysis companies with the mission of making microbial genomics easier and more powerful for all.

Thank you for your support! (7/end) 🦠🧬

Unfortunately, last year, my involvement in that company was involuntarily terminated, which led to an ongoing legal dispute. In addition to forcing me out of the business, the technician also chose to “rebrand” MiGS as SeqCenter, while claiming that nothing had changed (5/x)

Because some of you may continue to use that company partly because of my affiliation, I must state that I now have no connection to the operation of MiGS or SeqCenter. (6/x)

This core was immediately successful and intellectually rewarding. I loved hearing about your exciting research and offering design and analysis tips. I called it the Microbial Genome Sequencing center, or MiGS for short (3/x)

By 2019 we could no longer manage demand through university contracts, so my technician at the time took the lead in spinning MiGS out as an independent company, with me in the background (4/x).

Next-gen sequencing was revolutionary for our research. We all soon needed fast access to these data on a scale and economy appropriate for microbial clones or populations. A goal of my lab was to build this capacity and then share it with colleagues like you. (2/x)

If you’ve used microbial #genome #sequencing services from my lab’s core facility or from the business that spun out (both called MiGS), thank you. However, as you may know, I was excluded from this center last year. Due to some ongoing confusion, I’m sharing further details (1/x)

RNAseq, right-sized for microbes and faster delivery than your core, available NOW. An excellent use of year-end spending for discoveries!
We offer friendly, expert support for experimental design, sequencing, and analyses. http://seqcoast.com

We are #hiring postdoctoral researchers, technicians, and interns for multiple research projects, including:
-How "enabler" mutations drive the evolution of #antimicrobialresistance
-Microbiome of tracheobronchitis
-Advancing our EvolvingSTEM (http://evolvingstem.org) lab-based educational program
-Using new methods for high-throughput genomics and bioinformatics

The microbiology and evolutionary biology communities in #pittsburgh are fantastic, join us!
