    @teresa-m thanks! @bebatut Thanks for pointing that out. I guess the PCR would limit the sequenced reads length then?
    I've found the description of the amplification-based kits, thank you. They have quite good information.

    HI @DonStephano, thanks for the advice. That's pretty much what I thought, but, of course, using nanopore sequencing would add a touch of "they used fancy new technology" to the study so I thought I'll figure out if using it is a real option or not.

    Sounds really like a cool project. You may want to stick to Nanopore and make a friend whose patients cry or spit :smile: :smiling_imp:

    Hi all, this could be a way to find schools interested in beer sequencing: https://forschungsboerse.de/

    New paper probably interesting for us: "An educational guide for nanopore sequencing in the classroom”

    maybe we could apply? 5000 EUR maximun...

    @teresa-m
    Cool thanks a lot. I guess at the moment we would not need new funding. But it would be maybe a good way to get some notice of our project inside the university! :-)

    side fact: Today I got prescribed a pill that turned out to be Saccharomyces cerevisiae capsules! I didn't know that it can used in medicine and also rarely can become a pathogen . :-) From wikipedia:
    Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used as a probiotic in humans and animals. Especially, a strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii is industrially manufactured and clinically used as a medication.[...]

    Exactly, then I thought about the story about boiling beer as a remedy :)

    Was looking again at the super cool images made with BioRender these last hours of the contest: https://app.biorender.com/contest/gallery?awards=experts-choice-finalist
    Do you guys think we should create some kind of nice slides using this tool? it is so easy to make Nature-quality images... I am mindblown... perhaps we could make schematically the protocol instructions for the pupils/teachers and the general public or even more complicated stuff
    (I have myself a paid account, so what we do essentially can belong to StreetScience Freiburg)

    hi, since I left the Zoom relatively early I forgot to ask... is it a go for BioRender? did you guys like it for informative material creation?
    teresa-m
    @teresa-m
    We did not talk about it jet. I can put it on the list of topics for next week. I think Masako tried it and liked it.
    We can discusse it next meeting
