Over 3.5 million people are currently living with cancer.
Yet characterisation remains slow, costly, and often too limited to guide treatment.
See how Oxford Nanopore sequencing is changing that — offering rapid, scalable, and rich genomic insights. nanoporetech.com/applications...

Gave a talk at Fraunhofer IME 🌱 on big data in plant biology. Covered genomics in Digitalis purpurea, dark pigments, withanolide biosynthesis + coexpression analyses.

Tools like KIPEs & CoExpPhylo make gene function annotation accessible & powerful.

Are you at #Botany2025 ?

Do you want to know how to ID anthocyanins and flavonoids from mixed samples without spending too much money?

Have you been wondering which pigments are in Viola sororia flowers?

Go see Karen Campos at poster #223!
