Getting bored of all the sunshine? Come and talk to me in the poster hall! Poster 292 #isag2019

So, just finishing the draft for Phase Genomics contest, and I realize we are not eligible... What a pity! Ivan Liachko 🇺🇦 @ivanliachko.bsky.social @KayleesiOMICS Anna Cuscó Olga Francino

Finally out! rdcu.be/cj87M See how we have used long-read metagenomics with Nanopore sequencing to profile a canine fecal microbiome sample and retrieve eight single-contig HQ MAGs 🐕💩🦠🧬 Daniel Pérez @Quinovines Norma Fabregas Olga Francino

Oxford Nanopore I forgot to mention you! We retrieved some single-contig HQ MAGs using the MinION 🧬🧬

Anybody asking for my HiC long crosslinked metagenome? Phase Genomics Ivan Liachko 🇺🇦 @ivanliachko.bsky.social Ben Auch Anna Cuscó

Thanks to a sample donated by our good pal, @IAMCOOPER, these researchers were able to retrieve 27 HQ MAGs and identify 51 bacteriophages and their hosts with #ProxiMeta. Anna Cuscó Daniel Pérez @Quinovines Norma Fabregas Olga Francino #metagenome hubs.la/H0RHQLw0

📣 #Postdoctoral position IGTP: Want to work with us on WGS data analysis and molecular epidemiology of #SARSCoV2 & other pathogens in a multidisciplinary team? Experience with MinION will be valued. In col. with pJCardona💐🦠 Hosp. Germans Trias, Marc Noguera-Julian & Olga Francino

Today 2 suspected B.1.1.529 (Nu variant) samples were analyzed. Samples were flagged as suspicious because of an S gene dropout qPCR. 1 sample was confirmed to be the new Nu variant. This patient was not vaccinated and developed mild symptoms 11 days after returning from Egypt.

@JessOreilly1997 Gytis Dudas 🇱🇹🇪🇺 @evogytis.bsky.social Yes sorry. First confirmed case of B.1.1.529 in Belgium.

New work from our lab on SARS-CoV-2 in Nature Communications. Here, we show that virus can disseminate out of lungs to blood and extrapulmonary organs in severe COVID-19. This includes an immunocompromised host with ongoing in vivo evolution of SARS-CoV-2 (1/3) rdcu.be/cB9M9

We report organ-specific SARS-CoV-2 intra-host genome diversity including emerging mutations found in VOCs (shown in red). However, this patient died in June 2020 before any reported cases of these VOC. This supports the idea that intra-host evolution could lead to new VOCs (2/3)

This work was done at [email protected], UGent Geneeskunde & Gezondheidswetenschappen, UZ Gent in collaboration with Nick Vereecke, Sebastiaan Theuns from PathoSense and Piet Maes from KU Leuven and many others (not on twitter).

If you want to see how we binned Oxford Nanopore long-read metagenomics data using Hi-C proximity ligation Phase Genomics, you can check our talk at Mini Theatre #nanoporeconf 🐶💩🦠🧬💻 More info: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Olga Francino Diago Puretsa Daniel Pérez @Quinovines

An update on ARTIC Network V4 primer scheme for Omicron variant. Amplicon 76 was sunk by torpedos to the port and starboard and 79 and 90 are hit and limping back to base.

Nuestra actualización del perfil de variantes a 24/12/21 o como la ómicron se cenó en Nochebuena a la delta

Anna Cuscó Daniel Pérez @Quinovines Diago Puretsa Olga Francino Just read this paper, and I have to say I loved all the details about the dog. The science is great, too, of course!! :) Wish we had a picture of the pup who contributed!

I am happy to share that our last paper is finally out at Microbial Genomics Microbiology Society microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

This cute pup and his poop microbes got a recent publication in Microbiology Society! Thank you again, @IAMCOOPER for the sample. Check out the research here: microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Congrats Andreu Coello, PhD! Proud of you and the rest of the team IGTP UMCiExp Hosp. Germans Trias And many thanks to our collaborators Olga Francino Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona & Marc Noguera-Julian IrsiCaixa #CanRutiSequencingHub La Marató de 3Cat #SARSCoV2 #GenomicEpidemiology #ASMNGS ASM
