Got milk virus genomes? (or any H5N1?) Throw them at usher.bio and see where they land in per-segment trees of tens of thousands of public Influenza A H5N1 sequences!

#GPUalgorithms achieve significant speedup in statistical #phylogenetics, exemplified by estimating West Nile virus introduction timing from 104 genomes using BEAGLE v4.0.0 in BEAST. [co-authored by EVBC members @LemeyLab @suchard_group] doi.org/10.1093/bioinformati…

In a @VanityFair story, @KatherineEban oddly misrepresented an investigation into @GISAID and Peter Bogner by @sciencecohen and me; suggested our story was a volley in the lab leak debate; and let Bogner dismiss it as a "hit piece." Here's our response. science.org/do/10.1126/scien…

My colleague @sciencecohen and I spent months investigating @GISAID and the mysterious man behind it, Peter Bogner. Here's what we found. science.org/content/article/…

we're deep into Omicron's reign. does that mean we definitely need an Omicron-specific vaccine?

We have just released two preprints on the origin of SARS-CoV-2:
1. "The Huanan market was the epicenter of SARS-CoV-2 emergence"

(1/13) By the end of the Omicron wave, nearly all of us will have glimpsed spike in some form or another—injection, infection, both. I wrote about what that means... and why “widespread exposure” does not necessarily equate to “widespread protection.”
