On a windy, overcast, yet unseasonably warm day in March, Joseph Yracheta was excited to welcome two guests to his research facility in Eagle Butte, South Dakota. Illumina Field Applications Scientist Brittny Smith and Field Service Engineer Andrew “AJ” Rutt were traveling to help with the setup of the Illumina NextSeq™ 550, which had been delivered as part of Illumina’s Accelerating Access to Genomics Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.
