Do you make core genome alignments for phylogenomics? @monaltaouk and I explored how including sites with some missing data (a soft core) can improve analysis, especially for large datasets. microbiologyresearch.org/con… (1/4)

Exploring SNP filtering strategies: the influence of strict vs soft core

Maintaining genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2. As rapid tests have largely replaced PCR for COVID-19 diagnoses, an approach to genomic surveillance from these is needed. See our latest in @TheLancetInfDis, with @GenevieveEMart1, @monaltaouk thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Maintaining genomic surveillance using whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 from rapid antigen...

Genomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 has had a major role in the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling mapping of viral transmission at global and local levels, informing infection...

Syphilis has not been left to the history books, but is making a come-back. @monalisa_taouk illustrates, there are a number of lineages and sublineages circulating in Australia following direct sequencing from clinical samples #MicroSeq2021

Nice work demonstrating the utility of targeted enrichment of Treponema (challenging to culture) to investigate genomic epi of syphilis epidemics #MicroSeq2021 @monalisa_taouk

A huge study led by Mat Beale @typeMAT12, expanding the known diversity of Treponema pallidum through NGS of a geographically and temporally diverse sample collection.

July 27 France had 514 cases of #covid19 July 27 Victoria had 532 October 16, France had 25,086. October 16, Victoria had 2. October 17, we had 1. like it, hate it, pick a side- whatever suits you- undeniable that this has worked. with costs? yes. but the alternative? wow.

Tonight people in Beirut are going to sleep in shattered homes, during a deadly pandemic, with a collapsing economy led by corrupt politicians, surrounded by countries that have attacked & threatened them and a world that has abandoned them and their refugees. They deserve better
