I’ve just started using Twitter polls and kicked things off with a couple asking followers whether they thought Cancer research (or diagnostics) is best investigated using whole genome sequencing, higher depth exomes, much higher depth amplicomes, or even long-reads. Please do take the poll and join in the conversation here or over at Twitter.



Here’s a link to the cancer research poll, and here’s one to the cancer diagnostics poll. Pass onto your collegaues. I’m going to follow up in a week with a post outlining my thoughts and particularly where long-reads might have a real impact in understnading structural-variation in cancer.
