What a fantastic keynote to start #VEGB24 from @TanjaStadler_CH. Important messages about data sharing and open access for pathogens of importance! 🖥️🧬

See you soon Cambridge for #VGEB24 So excited for my FIRST ever international conference and feeling very luck to have the opportunity to present my RSV poster. Come and find me in the second session, poster 10, for a chat! #genomics

This is such an exiting project to be a part of and I'm so grateful for the skills I've learnt (and am continuing to build)!!
We promised you info on genomic surveillance so in 2022, a Yale EMD team became part of a CDC Pathogen Center of Excellence (cdc.gov/advanced-molecular-d…), partnered with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health

This is filling a much needed gap in ONT bioinformatics; I am SO keen to try this tool out, it looks amazing 😍
Strainy is finally out! It enables assembly of individual strains from ONT and Pacbio metagenomes. The secret ingredient is multi-allelic phasing algorithm that does not make assumptions about number and abundance of haplotypes. Unpaywalled link - rdcu.be/dVakX

#Dengue virus (DENV) #epidemics are becoming increasingly widespread, making it critical to track the virus using #genomic surveillance. This Consensus View proposes a new DENV nomenclature system to identify and track DENV lineages. plos.io/47C0hR9 #PLOSBiology

First thing I do at the minute is message my friends/partner in 🇦🇺 and catch up on here for 30mins while I plan an review my day! 30mins to get my mind in the zone then onto the day
What's the first thing you do when you get to work (or perhaps what you do to prepare for work if you WFH)? I have a guess that this might involve caffeine, but I'm here to be surprised! #MyScienceMay #SciComm #ScienceLife @letstalkscicomm

I shall maintain the hemisphere difference is my problem for #MyScienceMay I don't think I've ever seen a TV show with a nicely represented genomics lab? But MISS-represented, take your pick (sadly looking at you Jurassic Park 🦖; you too Gattaca, no-one like eugenics 🧬)

I swear one year I'll manage #MyScienceMay well. Catch up post from the 3rd; travelling to a scientific discovery has to be Rosalind Franklin 🧬 Darwin and his finches a close second however 🦜 @avid_podcast

Whoops; off to a great #MyScienceMay after missing the first day 😅 I'm Ellen, post-doc @Yale University @YaleSPH looking into respiratory virus genomics! Still trying to figure out my place in the STEM world but we'll get there 👩‍🔬🧬
It's day 1 of #MyScienceMay and today we are wondering.. who are you? What do you do? We're looking forward to meeting you all! You don't have to be in Science directly, anything STEM related is very welcome! @letstalkscicomm

Calling all bioinformaticians 🧬💻! I need a new work laptop; what are we all using? What's good for coding? What can I buy now and not upgrade for a while 😆? #postdoc #bioinformatics

Sci comm catch ups; nothing better! Listen to my spontaneous appearance on @RadioSciLens talking all things zoonotic. Given the increase in avian in non-bird species, I thought it would make for some great discussion and it sure did! Check it here 👇 open.spotify.com/show/5k3kPk…
