We are excited to publish our framework for studying regional transmission using whole-genome sequencing data.
Check out our corresponding open-source R package, regentrans 👇

Congrats to @GenevieveChiara, @SnitkinLabWGS member & @umichsph MPH in Hospital & Molecular Epidemiology candidate, for her successful MPH capstone presentation:
"Validation of strain profiling tool strainEST using Clostridium difficile population sequencing."
Great work! 🥳🎉
Congrats to Dr. Stephanie Thiede! 🧫🦠
@stephstaph8 successfully defended her excellent dissertation, "Genomic Epidemiological Insights Into MRSA Transmission and Adaptation in an Urban Jail and the Surrounding Community" today. Congrats!🎉

Our latest preprint by @5hawnsolo with @mhayde2's group is out!
So excited our newest preprint from @SnitkinLabWGS & @mhayde2 is up! We used a SNV threshold free method to integrate #WGS and #Epi data to identify routes of #CRE transmission in an LTACH. #epitwitter #Genomics

Excellent work by @saund_katie on the implementation of new bacterial #GWAS methods!!
My third thesis paper with the @SnitkinLabWGS is out today! We originally began this project so that we could implement @MahaFarhat & @bjesseshapiro's phyC algorithm in R for one of our Cdif genomics projects. 1/4
Are patients or hospitals a more important predictor for #antibioticresistance dissemination? Our latest work in @IDSAInfo teases them apart! Special thanks to @CDCgov for funding this research. #GoBlue #Genomics #epidemiology

Congratulations @5hawnsolo! We have been so fortunate to be part of your amazing journey. Best of luck in all your future endeavours!! #GoBlue @UNC_Clin_Micro
It's happening! First graduate trainee @5hawnsolo from the Snitkin lab is defending her PhD work today at 2 PM (EDT)! All are welcome to see her hard work on combating infectious diseases in long-term care via bluejeans.com/557571257

🎶🎅🎄❄️☃️It's beginning to look a lot like...sickness here in the Snitkin lab for the annual Bioinformatics Door Dec Contest. Elf on the shelf should have gotten his DTaP vaccine before he sat on that rusty nail...... @UMMicroImmuno #IDtwitter #SantaIsComingDownWithSomething
Thanks to invitation by @UMichEEB, Evan takes us through cool work by @5hawnsolo, Zena Lapp, @alipirani88, and many amazing collaborators in understanding CRKP transmission! #AntibioticResistance #GenomicEpi
Snitkin lab is participating in the holiday-themed door decoration contest hosted by the Bioinformatics department! Thanks to @stephstaph8 @5hawnsolo @saund_katie @RDCrawford26 @alipirani88 @bubblepig914 and @Sintsovka for #mandatoryfun!

Fascinating paper by @anishpandey89 on #BacterialEvolution in upper respiratory tract. I made a #VisualAbstract as I was reading to keep the two studies straight.

New paper by @anishpandey89 in @NatureComms from the Read group at @UoS_Medicine and @SouthamptonBRC with me, @MaidenLab @XavierDidelot @NoMoreMrNEISGuy + others go.nature.com/2Q14Dfa "Microevolution of N. lactamica during controlled human infection"
Goodbye lunch for Hannah - awarded a CDC/CSTE Applied Epidemiology Fellowship, and @genevievechiara - thank you for all your hard work this summer! Best of luck to you both and hope to see you soon! @CSTEnews
WOW! Great day for the Snitkin lab! Our very own @RDCrawford26 was just awarded a slot on the bioinformatics T32 training program!! @umpibs 🎉😎
Congrats @5hawnsolo for winning the @umichgradschool predoctoral fellowship. Great job!!
Best.Morning.Ever. To start the day with a notice that you won a fellowship that you didn’t think you were still in the running for! 🎉 😭👩🔬🙏🙌 thanks @umichgradschool
Zena Lapp, Snitkin lab PhD student, presented a great talk today on Regional transmission and antibiotic resistance evolution of the hospital pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae today at ISMB! @iscb
