A large US-Australian study on COVID-19 has uncovered a genetic explanation as to why some people test positive but remain asymptomatic.
Prof Stephanie Gras, who led the Australian contingent, it opens the way for better vaccines and treatments 💉 fal.cn/3A9Y8
New publication from the Nematode and Vector Genomics lab @SABE_latrobe !
Researchers in DRC, South Sudan, US, Australia, & Belgium sequenced >800 mitochondrial genomes to assess genetic diversity on the path to elimination of River blindness.

📢 Interested to hear how landscape genomics 🧬🗺️ can shed light on the impact of environment on vector-borne disease transmission dynamics? 🪰🦟 Join me at poster #279 today @Genetics2023. @lab_grant @latrobe #ICG2023 #Genomics #Environment #epidemiology ⚕️📊🧬🌍
One of the best talks so far!
Stimulating talk from Prof Uma Ramakrishnan (@uramakri) on how genetics 🧬 is being used to inform 🐯 tiger conservation in India. Interesting simulations and evidences presented @ICG2023 #GeneticsForConservation #TigerConservation 🐾

Lovely to open @Genetics2023 with a tips and networking session for the next generation of geneticists! #icg2023. Lots of excitement in the air🙂
Great work, Millicent!
@the XXIII International Genetics Congress presenting preliminary findings of my PhD journey.#ICG2023
Congrats to @himal2007 for this recognition!
Congratulations to all @GeneticsAus student presentations @ComBio2022 We had three winners: The Mayo Prize for best long talk to Harry Eyck; the Jenny Graves Prize for best short talk to Himal Shrestha; the Sidney James Prize for best poster to Nick O’Brien 🧬#ComBio2022

Super happy to share my first first-authored publication. ☺ It is about geostatistical modeling that could be useful in planning the elimination of river blindness in Ethiopia, in this case, a neglected tropical disease in Africa.

Parasites do regulate immune systems of their human host. Does it have any implications with low COVID mortality in LMICs? An interesting hypothesis.. youtu.be/lVSqSPv61_k #parasites #COVID19 #NTDs
Nematodes are the most abundant animals on earth... they account for 4/5 land animals! The highest abundances are found in tundra which is the opposite of above-ground animals. Soil biota are so important and we need to know more...
