A thread about using color as a design tool in science presentations. Color is a great tool to separate different categories of information, to highlight information, or to establish an emotional tone. 🧵1/20

Kit 14 will allow users to tune their accuracy & output needs by modifying run conditions in the software. Early work has shown 99.6% raw read accuracy can be achieved at 28 degrees. At 34 degrees, 99.3% is possible whilst generating a high yield. Watch: bit.ly/3k2AR7n

Took me about 10 #fish #genomes to get dialed in but finally making some ultra long dna and libraries — latest 83 kb N50 on #promethion @nanopore

Follow the action at #nanoporeconf @NanoporeConf 🧬
I just got my ticket for the @nanopore community meeting. I've heard that poster No. 19 is gonna be quite interesting. Don't forget to pass by and find out what it is about! (or if this is just a shameless self-promoting tweet)

Accuracy often gets a lot of attention when talking about the most recent release of @nanopore chemistry. However, I think it is a game changer that now only 5 fmol of DNA is loaded onto the flowcell. For 10 kb DNA fragments that is down to 31 ng!!!
