Here is hoping the polls are dramatically wrong and Australia supports constitutional recognition and a Voice for our indigenous people.

Out today, the story of the replacement and evolution of SARS-CoV-2 lineages during the first 3 years of the UK epidemic - as told through the eyes of the ONS Covid Infection Survey. An extraordinary amount of work went into this - thank you everyone. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Call for junior 5-year research groups in the tropical institutes of Institut Pasteur, since 1887 - great opportunity to conduct research! Tenure track position to head a group of 6 (G5 track) or 8 people (G5+ track) research.pasteur.fr/en/call/creati…

Great permanent research opportunity in the Computational biology department at Institut Pasteur, since 1887 in Paris (which I recently joined) with Gregory Batt . I can attest to a highly stimulating environment and excellent working conditions!

This!

It was a pleasure to get together with a group of Molecular Ecology editors who regularly handle microbiome papers to write a piece outlining some issues we see and how we can improve practices overall. We also share some exciting future directions: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

A #cholera outbreak with two strains: the power of #bacterialgenomics. A great collaboration between (in particular) Lebanese University, American University of Beirut and Institut Pasteur, since 1887. 👉biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is some really nice work that demonstrates convergent evolution of virulence in chickens, using ancient genome samples. This :thread gives a nice summary and here is a perspective of the field that I wrote: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

How suitable are the current bioinformatics tools used to help understand how viruses evolve, especially with the amount of sequencing data available?🤔 Check out my latest paper where we benchmarked eight tools for detecting recombination in virus sequences!

If any non-UK folk with (or soon to have) a PhD are interested in applying for a Newton International Fellowship to work with me at the University of Bath (UK) on pangenome algorithms for bacteria and/or plasmids, do get in touch! Deadline 13th March! royalsociety.org/grants-schemes…
