Hello there community,
I'll be going to ASHG in DC next month. Based on the meeting schedule, it seems like this will be an amazing event.
Will anyone else be there? I would love to meet up and talk about all the great work that is being presented.
Also, if you have a presentation or a poster, let me know so I can see it!
For those of you not attending, is there anything you would like to learn about in my meeting summary?
I hope to see you there!

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
