Unprecedented collaborative effort by groups all across the UK COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium sequencing and analysis of 10K SARS-CoV-2 genomes so far.. Data at cogconsortium.uk/data and on CLIMB-BIG-DATA and Microreact

A vaccine would be a powerful tool to slow down #coronavirus. But what does developing a vaccine typically look like? Let’s find out ⬇️

Compelling thought piece on the value of contact tracing combined with real-time NGS surveillance to tackle future waves of pandemics. #ngs #genomics #publichealth #surveillance How to Snuff Out the Next Pandemic - Scientific American Blog Network blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/h…

Through ongoing viral lineage mapping in space and time, COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium, of which Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance is a vital cog, reports an influx and circulation of ~40 different #SARSCoV2 strains in the UK since March; several international ones have since gone extinct.

In memory of #keralaelephant...She trusted us and we betrayed her and her unborn little one. Doesn’t matter if the offenders are apprehended, there can never be justice for something like this. #humanityisfading news.sky.com/story/pregnant…

Fantastic extension from Theo Sanderson that increases operational efficiency on Opentrons when accurately rearraying samples from tubes to HTP plate formats.

Locked into Oxford Nanopore Events’s #LondonCalling2020 virtual experience of simulated auditoriums and breakout rooms. Just missing a strong cuppa! #mynanoporeconf

GS: LamPORE is the first assay we have developed that is intended for diagnostic use. @danturnez talked yesterday about the science, here is the vision. With scalability and a rapid workflow comes the ability to provide rapid testing in any setting you can think of #nanoporeconf

Curious about the innovative inflatable #labs? Here comes the reveal of what's inside these labs. They are equipped with MGI's automated sample preparation system and can process up to 10,000 samples per day, one of the keys to an effective testing solution for #COVID19.

Fantastic achievement for Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance developing this World Health Organization (WHO) report on the utility of #wholegenomesequencing #WGS for global surveillance of #AMR

Scientists from University of Oxford, OUH, @PHE_uk, The University of Sheffield & @sheffieldhosp have published their evaluation of LamPORE in more than 500 clinical samples, showing 99.1% sensitivity and 99.6% specificity: bit.ly/3088OKh

:-) great to see local sequencing and bioinformatics fired up for AMR surveillance KIMS Bangalore from NIHR Global Health NIHR GHRU AMR

A study of more than 23,000 samples carried out by teams across the UK shows LamPORE is highly accurate for the detection of #SARSCoV2, in both symptomatic and asymptomatic population settings, read more: bit.ly/3hd6nx9 Andrew Beggs

Excited to see the output of my first Illumina #miseq run, after initial training by Mihir Kekre & colleagues Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance Wellcome Connecting Science Courses and Conference in #2018 amidst countless procurement and set-up delays. Took ~3 yrs to achieve this key deliverable of our NIHR finded NIHR GHRU AMR grant. Iruka Okeke

Incredibly proud to announce our preprint detailing an iterative approach to assembling #WGS based #surveillance infrastructure in microbiology laboratories. #genomics #pathogensurveillance

Pretty much sums up my feed 🤦🏻‍♂️

Delighted to be part of the Royal Society Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene showcase panel sharing our perspectives from the NIHR GHRU AMR building sustainable genomics capabilities for routine AMR surveillance in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Just way Tchouameni fouls from France at the moment. 1-1, and it’s what England deserve. End to end stuff this! #FIFAWorldCup #ENGFRA
