Capitalize on high-quality, low-cost, ILMN data! Especially with constantly improving DRAGEN analysis: specialized calling (CYP2D6, HLA, SMA, GBA), repeat expansions, SVs, CNVs..it all comes stock with DRAGEN germline ...dont get me started on somatic pipelines!

Juneteenth is a celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. It commemorates June 19, 1865, when news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Texas. Let us celebrate this important day and continue the fight for equality and justice for all. #Juneteenth
Thank you @AstraZenecaCA and @BreastCancerCDN for your leadership and partnership. @illumina, we are privileged to work with you.
We’ve partnered with @BreastCancerCDN & @illumina to support research that will help improve health outcomes for people with breast cancer and strengthen capabilities & capacity around screening and early diagnosis: breastcancerprogress.ca/scre… #PartnersForPrecisionAZ
A ‘small’ province like Saskatchewan has made complex genomic profiling part of their standard of care. Truly impressive. Thank you!

Let's start with the basics:
The MOHCCN is the realization of a long-standing vision of @tfri_research.
Inspired by Terry's Marathon Of Hope, we're uniting patients, researchers, clinicians and administrators from cancer centres across 🇨🇦 to accelerate precision medicine.
Heading home from the @illumina Canada user meeting. Thanks to attendees and to Tracey Stockley, Christian Marshall, Gui Pare, @DNAziz_ , @M_Hajibabaei, and Samira Mubaerka for their incredible contributions.
Will be missing out on ‘Premium Rouge’.
Tracy Stockley from @PMResearch_UHN demonstrating how oncology testing has evolved and how UHN continues to increase testing ability and capacity to improve access and standard of care at the @illumina user meeting in Toronto.
Christian Marshall at @SickKidsNews presenting clinical WES and WGS. Finding accuracy with short reads allowing them to do 30x instead of 40x depth. Dragen and Emedgene
We are underway with the @illumina user meeting in Toronto!!
