The Pathogen DOM is out now in Microbiology Society! Putting everything in its place: using the INSDC compliant Pathogen Data Object Model to better structure genomic data submitted for public health applications - go.shr.lc/3TnjpNQ #PHA4GE

Huge congrats to the @PHA4GE Data Structures Working Group. Another great step forward towards standardizing our field

🚨Our new manuscript details the work of the Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology Data Structures working group to standardize the type & structure of metadata submitted to the INDSC - simplifying protocols across public health pathogen genomic surveillance. Great job by all, esp Ruth E. Timme Emma Griffiths

Recently, Andrew Page @andrewjpage.bsky.social, Inês Mendes and Robert A. Petit III, PhD contributed to "Putting everything in its place: using the INSDC compliant Pathogen Data Object Model to better structure genomic data submitted for public health applications."

Hey, that's me! 🦆🐦‍⬛🕊️📈📉

Our Research Topic on Integration of #NGS in clinical & public health microbiology attracted fantastic papers! Especially proud of the contribution from all the #PublicHealth labs. Here is our editorial summarizing the article collection: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… Frontiers

Kindly: please retweet if you see this important notice. Today at ATCC, we announced a change to the access model for the ATCC Genome Portal (genomes.atcc.org). In order to maintain its long term sustainability, we are transitioning to a Supporting Membership

Here's where we are: Asymptomatic cows shed H5N1 into the milk supply Pasteurization inactivates the virus and renders it non-infectious U.S. FDA & Dept. of Agriculture showed inactivation by inoculating eggs with PCR+ dairy products BUT DO NOT DRINK UNPASTEURIZED MILK fda.gov/food/alerts-ad…

Good to see our US federal public health scientists recognized at this level!!

Seq data of varying quality can be used for different public health applications (analysis, training, more). Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology standardized QC tags help users share, triage, and identify a wider array of data in public repos. For more info, see: shorturl.at/1yaCw hot off the presses!

This will be a great meeting for scientists working in genomic data standards. See you in Tucson!

Genomic data quality, completeness, and standards are critical to inform public health. We are very excited to collaborate with @phaa4ge and NCBI to train data curators across the continent. alan christoffels Simon Harris Mastercard Foundation Gates Foundation

I am excited to win a CZI EOSS grant! This is the first grant I have ever won after 20+ years in science. It feels wonderful to finally be funded for my open-source contributions. With Wytamma we will deliver the next generation of my popular Snippy software! 🦘🦘🦘

Check out our latest blog from Dr. Inês Mendes and Dr. Bryan A. Wee, members of the Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology . They show how ‘bad data’ can be made more valuable by tagging them with information about their potential issues. microb.io/3Xrg9kH

So great to see such a massive turnout for #ASMNGS! ASM Let’s go! 🚀🧬🦠🧫 #genomics #bioinformatics #publichealth
