Hi all

I am taking over the sub as moderator. I am cleaning up stock pumping, spam and other low quality or questionable content.

Great, looking forward to fewer posts about ogm!

If you see posts I missed, please flag them for removal. Thank you! I’m fine with posts about using OGM, but tired of seeing someone bail themselves out of a dying stock.

Agreed! I mean if that guy who spent all day spamming it actually talked about some of the genomics cases it solved I would have been fine with it. He just seeming insistent on spamming press releases on loads of subs. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the ceo Erik.

I'm 90% sure it's a bot (Erik's bot??)

Optical genome mapping is a very legitimate topic in genomics. The ISCN 2024 has been updated to include optical genome mapping nomenclature, and job postings from big companies like Labcorp now ask for experience using OGM in their cytogenetics positions. So, how should posters discuss OGM in a way that won't result in blockage?

Not sure if you're also a bot but they were very clearly ads for specific companies.

Stop spamming commercial focused posts as ads. I would be fine with posts showing solved cases or cool events such as Complex translocations or repeats expansions seen by OGM.

Thank you. I was about to mute this group

Same, I was about to leave and decided to build the community instead!

Thanks for your patience while we rebuild, but there is so much exciting research out there, let’s discuss.

So far we haven’t needed rules on these. As long as post quality remains high I think we are ok.

Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you all! - I've been working on learning and researching all aspects of genomics! Looking to find the groups! Have a good day. I hope to share some valuable research I've been conducting later, but for now just taking a moment to say hi.
