        $ARKG is the most meaningful way to own PACB in an ETF......in case anyone was wondering. Illumina is top holding, PACB #23 but could be top 10 quickly. https://ark-funds.com/wp-content/fundsiteliterature/holdings/ARK_GENOMIC_REVOLUTION_MULTISECTOR_ETF_ARKG_HOLDINGS.pdf …

        I've always thought @nanopore & @pacbio would make a powerhouse combination.

        Pretty crazy turn of events for one of the biggest gene sequencing mergers ever. @oxfordnanopore is cheering

        1/2 Bets on how often Trump ignores the reality of the Brits killing this deal, and in speeches cites this as an example of his Admin's purportedly vigorous antitrust stance? The cynic in me still thinks belated US opposition was a trade deal sop to the Chinese gov. and $BGI.

        2/2 it's ironic (or worse) to see stoppage of a deal that actually could accelerate use of really exacting ultra high quality sequencing for people with #cancer and novel variants. On cancer lives lost to reg. delays, see Dr. David Stewart's calculations. https://www.ascopost.com/issues/october-25-2015/delays-in-drug-approval-are-deadly-highlighting-the-need-for-improved-regulatory-efficiency/ …
