Excited to be starting the @PacBio webinar now! We would love to see what SMRT sequencing can do for our favorite glow-in-the-dark crustaceans, ostracods! We have DRAWERS of tubes but no genome! @PacBio has new small organism-friendly pipelines- we want to play! #HifiExhibit
Giant ostracods are crustaceans that resemble shrimp inside a hinged shell. Their antennae and legs poke out of their carapace, allowing them to swim about the sea. (They are only about the size of a ping pong ball🏓)
SO MUCH of what we know about prehistoric oceans is derived from little mini shrimps called ostracods leaving their shells everywhere.
