Thrilled to be at LorneGenomeConferenc for my first in-person conference in >2 years & excited to be presenting my poster on a novel regulatory mRNA-mRNA interaction in the prokaryote S. aureus.

New version of the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli genomic clustering and serotyping tool, STECFinder (v1.1)! Allows detection of multiple stx2 types in the same strain amongst other improvements. Available on github and conda github.com/LanLab/STECFin…. lanlabUNSW #MicrobialGenomics

ShigEiFinder version 1.3 released! Includes fixes and updates that resolve issues raised in this excellent recent paper by Iman Yassine and Weill François-Xavier nature.com/articles/s4146…. Accuracy now over 92% in routine surveillance! lanlabUNSW #Shigella #EIEC. github.com/LanLab/ShigEiF…

I am going to give a seminar talk at University of Technology Sydney about #genomic #epidemiology of #Salmonella Enteritidis using a global database MGTdb lanlabUNSW Please join us online on 27th April (this Wed) at 12:30 p.m. AEST.  zoom link: utsmeet.zoom.us/j/89426903922

Fantastic talks to start the UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences Symposium!

Followed by another terrific session!

Check out the great work from hirokisuyama lanlabUNSW His first ever pre-print. More info about the paper below 👇

A summary 🧵of lanlabUNSW latest Australian Bordetella pertussis genomics paper, just published in Emerging Microbes & Infection. Paper led by Alice Zheng Xu who examined the microevolution of 385 B. pertussis strains across two epidemics from 2007-2018. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Super excited to share our latest work in the Jai Tree lab published in Nature Communications detailing how a regulatory mRNA 3’UTR mediates vancomycin tolerance in a clinical vancomycin-intermediate Staph isolate. 🧵 1/3 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Check my ePoster #209 of #2022ASM about plasmids contributing to the persistent colonisation of Listeria monocytogenes in the food markets lanlabUNSW. It is a collaborative project with China CDC, and also an ongoing study of my previous research.

Come have a chat tonight at poster 112 at #2022ASM where I am presenting a new genomic nomenclature for Bordetella #pertussis using multilevel genome typing (MGT) developed in lanlabUNSW. Also check out Sandeep Kaur's poster 147 on our online database: mgtdb.unsw.edu.au!

Thank you to ASM for the ECR poster prize at #2022ASM. What a great meeting! Looking forward to next year! Congrats also to all the other members of lanlabUNSW who contributed. Sandeep Kaur, Alice Zheng Xu, Dalong Hu and Ruiting Lan!
