🧬 Exciting milestone! Initiated bacterial WGS at the NIH Pakistan using cutting-edge v14 chemistry on R10.4.1 flow cells. This wouldn't have been possible without invaluable guidance and support from the Benjamin Howden team and CEO NIH.Sarah L Baines Claire Gorrie Louise Judd

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.

Had the pleasure of presenting shigella genomics 🧬 work last week Australian Pathogen Genomics Program - we used a national collection of 5k sequences, identifying previously unidentified case clusters in Australia, unique clones to east vs central and northern Australia, MDR and XDR Public Health Australia

Kicking off the first Centre for Pathogen Genomics workshop UniMelb MDHS Doherty Institute at the Global Health Security 2024 (18 June - 21 June) 🇦🇺grateful to have this global platform to share some of our learnings and diverse expertise in the Asia Pacific region (and not being the jet lagged ones for once!)

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! 🦘🦘🦘

It is hard to overestimate Torsten's contribution to microbial genomics, since so much applied work runs on his stuff. Awesome news!

Did you know that thousands of sequences from across Australia have been contributed to the Australian Pathogen Genomics Program Program across several priority pathogens?🦠🧬You can see our monthly tracking numbers on the website and read more about the individual pathogens too👉auspathogen.org.au
