@brett7201 Marc Johnson DrYak Detection in wastewater in Spain has been confirmed by the Catalan authorities elperiodico.com/es/sanidad/202…

The BA.2.86 variant was detected again in the treatment plants of Luzern, Laupen, Schwyz and Chur. It was newly detected in the treatment plants of Neuchâtel, Altenrhein and Genève.

1/3 - Une particularité de l’émergence de #BA286 tient à la façon dont on suit jour après jour sa progression dans le monde, un peu comme une nouvelle pandémie en devenir. Ce fut le cas avec Mpox sans que ce soit devenu une pandémie, grâce à une active mobilisation internationale

I'm excited to announce a new paper with @MLReichmuth and @C_Althaus, out now in PLOS Pathogens! We used phylogenetics & modelling to investigate the introduction & expansion of #SARSCoV2 Alpha & Delta variants into #Switzerland & to simulate different interventions. 1/17

Ein weiterer Tag im Zeichen der #Wissenschaft: Besuch bei der Empa und Eawag in Dübendorf. Hier wird z.B. über die Mobilität der Zukunft oder über den Virennachweis im Abwasser geforscht. Es sind Leuchtturmprojekte der 🇨🇭 Wissenschaft. Darauf dürfen wir stolz sein.

The audio log you find in a trashed office in a sci-fi horror game:

Moved to Bluesky For those interested, here is the Mastodon thread with the discussion: mstdn.science/@dominiksteige… TL;DR: - we're investigating - can be something unusual/different from what we track usually - can also be mundane: very poor coverage due to low viral load in the sewage

Moved to Bluesky Update on Mastodon: mstdn.science/@dryak/1119988… TL;DR: - findings currently don't support new/unknown variant - everything points to poor coverage due to low viral load in the wastewater (i.e.: the few fragments that survived to sequencing happen to not carry useful mutations)

Our preprint on assessing different NGS technologies for wastewater-based epidemiology is out! From the powerful Novaseq6000 by @Illumina and Aviti Element Biosciences to the compact Flongle by Oxford Nanopore , wastewater surveillance is now more accessible than ever! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

🌍🩺How does climate change influence animal health? What will the next epidemic be? To answer, knowledge on human, animal & environmental health (#OneHealth) must be leveraged. #Bioinformatics is one of the keys: more in the #SIBProfile 👉 issuu.com/sibswissinstit…

We're thrilled to announce the release of V-pipe 3.0! This computational pipeline is specifically crafted for analyzing short viral genomes using next-generation sequencing data. V-pipe 3.0 enables sustainable viral genomic data science. Check it out at: doi.org/10.1093/gigasc….

Dear people fleeing to BlueSky: you can access my Mastodon account ( @[email protected] ) from BlueSky too: bsky.app/profile/dryak.…

We are excited to share that our new tool VILOCA has been published in NAR G&B: doi.org/10.1093/nargab…! VILOCA is a novel method for mutation calling and local haplotype reconstruction from diverse viral sequencing data, which is also adept for viral surveillance in wastewater.

It was a huge honour to be featured on SRF News (Swiss national news) in a mini-profile about Pathoplexus & my being named as one of Nature's 'Ones to watch in 2025'! Have a short visit to my office and home, and hear a little about Pathoplexus! srf.ch/news/schweiz/r…

Hey, ANBERNIC ! I am having quality issues with an RG ARC-D ordered on your web site, and I don't get any answers back neither from the ticketing system nor from e-mail. Is there any problem with your customer service?
