Do you plan to or are you regularly using multiomic or multimodal data in your work? We'd love to hear your experiences, concerns - and visions! Comments in the thread or DMs are welcome.

PHG Foundation @phgfoundation.bsky.social · May 28

@genomicsengland.bsky.social committed to upping the use of 'multiomics' for research and potentially clinical practice. A commitment reiterated by Sue Hill at this year's Festival of Genomics and reflected in the recent announcement by Illumina that it is expanding its offer to include proteomics.
