It’s great how @plasmidsaurus is embedding in there RNA-Seq product both mycoplasma detection and cell line misidentification detection
Both are serious issues which can sneak in and have to often gone unmentioned

Dropped off a PCR tube at plasmidsaurus yesterday morning, results came this morning via email during my morning coffee. Less than 24 hours. Incredible.
I love disruptive technologies like this. I can’t even get an email answered in 24 hours with any of the traditional labs.

@plasmidsaurus speed is LEGENDARY. I dropped off 6 plasmids at ~5 pm on a Saturday (at the Cambridge Plasmidsaurus office) and got data back at 7:45 pm

Yay, @plasmidsaurus was kind enough to run shotgun metagenomics on my duckweed biofilm sample! They also have a cool functional pathways tab to see what metabolics are most prevalent. Here is the data if anyone is curious; FASTQ included!

the fact that @plasmidsaurus offers RNAseq for $50 is so outrageous... I had no plans to do RNAseq but now it's like, why not...???

My first podcast is out today with @markwbudde, CEO of @plasmidsaurus.
Plasmidsaurus took whole-plasmid sequencing from $600 to $15 and turned a "boring" service company idea into a hugely successful company that now serves >70,000 scientists.
We talked about what it means to build a "boring" company, whether the Plasmidsaurus idea could apply to other technologies (like CRISPR screens), and why Plasmidsaurus isn't expanding into China. This podcast is made possible by @AsteraInstitute.
00:00 – Enter Plasmidsaurus
01:21 – Reducing sequencing costs by 40x
04:17 – Scaling Oxford Nanopore technology
06:29 – Venture capital and building a "boring" company
13:03 – Plasmidsaurus vs. traditional CROs
22:25 – On selling customer data
30:10 – Building a moat
37:08 – 50-minute results
39:26 – Logistics and the UPS partnership
48:42 – The Chinese market
50:20 – Playbook for new biotech founders
52:31 – The future of biological reasoning and AI
You can find the podcast, THE NEW BIOLOGY, on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else.

I have used this and it is amazing.
DYK: Plasmidsaurus RNA-Seq gives you answers you can explore 🔍
One especially nifty feature: In the interactive results dashboard, you can normalize gene expression to a control (or any sample) and instantly visualize log fold changes across genes and pathways.
• Spot up/down-regulated genes in seconds
• Compare conditions without wrestling spreadsheets
• Go from raw reads to biological insight fast
No R. No Python. No bioinformatics spelunking 🕳️
Just point, click, and uncover what your genes have been hiding 🦖

Loving the new @plasmidsaurus feature where a transposon is detected at the dashboard level of a results readout. So cool to see my suggestion turn into actual tooling. Community driven feedback is the best way forward! Thanks guys for the consideration and effort!

With these genes, one can encode blends of pigments reaching a spectrum of colors.. Just look at this overlap of RUBY & GOLD .
DM or email me for the DNA parts, which have been whole plasmid sequenced thanks to @plasmidsaurus & @markwbudde !

Received RNA-seq data from @plasmidsaurus in ~2 days (not including time to ship purified RNA samples). Let's go!!

Blogpost: I took an oral probiotic for a month and did microbiome sequencing at @Plasmidsaurus.

IT WOOOORKED!!!!!! 🥳
My Himar1 antibiotic-free genome integration plasmid worked!!!!
Not only did it shove my FuGFP transcription unit into the genome, but it did it FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES.
HOW COOL IS THAT?!

Just received results from @plasmidsaurus RNA-seq. Three business days, comprehensive QC reports, a simple, normalized gene expression matrix, and an ultra intuitive UI to visually explore DEGs. $50/sample. This is the future of bulk transcriptomics!

Yes, DNA synthesis is getting cheaper and easier and cloning as a fee-for-service is increasingly common. Yes, @plasmidsaurus is making it easier than ever to verify your materials and find out how your assemblies went wrong. (Thanks @markwbudde!)

Also huge thanks to @TwistBioscience for support with multiplexed gene fragments, @GenScript for excellent general gene and protein synthesis support. Also to @plasmidsaurus for truly enabling sequencing technologies. @immudex for excellent support with Dextramer reagents. Instance Bio for long gene fragment trials. @idtdna for general genes and @AzentaSciences for genes and protein preps. Thanks to all the amazing reps I worked with to make everything possible.
