Ancient DNA studies have had quite a year exploring a vast array of historical artifacts from the Roman Empire and the mysterious collapse of Easter Island inhabitants??, to beer ?? and cheese ?? making of the past. Here are some of our favorite highlights… “Ancient Balkan genomes trace the rise and fall of Roman Empire's frontier, reveal Slavic migrations” utilizes the Twist Ancient DNA Panel: https://lnkd.in/g2jv2EAg “Ancient genome of the Chinese Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou” uses the Twist Alliance Diversity SNP Panel: https://lnkd.in/gPCFyNus Scientists Challenge Popular Easter Island 'Ecological Suicide' Theory: https://lnkd.in/gHniVeg8 Scientists brew Biblical beer using 5,000-year-old yeast salvaged from Israel: https://lnkd.in/gvPXh7Jq World's oldest cheese reveals origins of kefir: https://lnkd.in/gcZ25qeX Read more amazing stories about how ancient DNA is providing clues to the past in this great blog post: Capturing the ancient origins of humanity. https://lnkd.in/gnduRJKJ

?? Spotted in Boston: our ads, now live on the subway, making rush hour slightly less painful! ?? We love science, we love scientists. We make the perfect base pair ?? You've seen us on the subway, now see what we're all about: https://lnkd.in/gXZUnzPs

?? Beep, beep! The Twist Roadshow is coming to a city near you! To celebrate brilliant researchers across the country working together to discover the next important breakthroughs, Twist Bioscience is bringing science on the road to you! We will be criss-crossing the nation, rolling up in our Twist Sprinter Van to share some food, fun, prizes, and to hear about the science that you’re passionate about. At each stop we'll have loads of engaging activities like: - Food Trucks! Savor a selection of tasty treats from local food trucks. We’ll bring ‘em, you come eat, it’s a win-win. ?? - Scientific experts on hand to discuss the challenges you're facing ???? - Games including cornhole, plinko, and jenga where you can win sweet prizes, including our world famous Twist socks ?? - Custom Sock Design Contest. Let your creativity shine! Participate in our Custom Twist Sock Design Contest and showcase your artistic flair— there's a chance your design will be made into a real sock! ?? Everything is free! Click to learn more about where we're going and when we'll be there: https://lnkd.in/g2YAGKSk Follow the tour on our social media pages with a behind-the-scenes look at the tour and more opportunities to win fun prizes on our Instagram page: https://lnkd.in/giBx8FF7 We'll see you soon! ?? #TwistRoadshow

??Stop, this is not a drill! Only 2 weeks left to submit an application for a Twist Gene-ius Grant. This would be a fantastic opportunity for an undergrad or grad student, research scientist, or fellow lab mate to earn ???? One grand prize winner will receive $5,000 USD to use towards Twist Genes or Oligo Pools and a second runner up will receive $2,000 USD. Applications are due by October 18, 2024 and winners will be announced early November. Details and application here: https://lnkd.in/gBrxAXyt Twist Bioscience

See you tomorrow #EpiBio2024! Here is your guide to Twist Bioscience and the 7th International Conference on Epigenetics and Bioengineering: ?? Come meet Julian Jude, PhD and Lieke van den Berk at our booth, where we’ll be showcasing our cutting-edge tools, including our newest innovation— Multiplexed Gene Fragments (MGF). Our MGF technology is designed to streamline your research by delivering user-defined, double-stranded gene fragments (up to 500 base pairs) in a high-throughput pooled format. Perfect for applications like CRISPR screening, protein engineering, and more! AIChE - American Institute of Chemical Engineers, #Epigenetics #GeneEditing #CRISPR #DNA

This #CancerAwarenessMonth, we stand united in the fight against cancer.

?? Exciting news! ?? We are partnering with MEDGENOME to establish the HOPE for Rare Diseases Program, which provides heavily discounted whole exome sequencing for economically disadvantaged families. Twist is deploying the Twist Exome 2.0 to support this mission. Designed to detect rare and inherited diseases, as well as germline cancers, the panel delivers high accuracy andefficiency, giving researchers and clinicians the ability to collect quality data with less sequencing.
