SPAdes 4.0 is released! github.com/ablab/spades/r… Since 2022 SPAdes is not related to any institution and is maintained by the SPAdes team - an international group of volunteers. Although this might be the last major release, we strongly intend to continue supporting our users!

New major version of SPAdes - very exciting! github.com/ablab/spades Unicycler isn't under active development anymore (as you can see from all the unanswered issues 😢), but I did just push a quick fix to make it work with SPAdes v4: github.com/rrwick/Unicycl…

Very pleased to say that our preprint investigating CRISPR-Cas9 enrichment of Enterobacterales pathogens is now public! We enriched for tRNA, MLST, AMR and integron genes and sequenced on Oxford Nanopore platforms (1/8). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very excited to be at #asm2024 in Brisbane!! Huge thanks to ASM for inviting me and CSIRO for sponsoring me! 🤩

Great to be back at #ASM2024 in person this year. Fab start with a talk from Erin Brazel on whole cell pneumococcal vax. Really great example of how fundamental knowledge on pneumo biology (autolysis genetics) came into play in designing a more robust vax strain. 💉🧫 ASM

Very excited for my first ever #asm2024 in Brisbane! Come see my talk on Wednesday for the public unveiling of #kaptive 3! 🦠🧫🖥️

Our EIC Jessica Blair is at #ASM2024! 🦠 Feel free to find her to chat all things efflux and/or npj Antimicrobials and Resistance!✨

Excited to share our latest breakthroughs with Oxford Nanopore sequencing this morning🧬 I’ll cover details of tackling a Clostridioides difficile outbreak in the Hemato-oncology ward & battling MRSA in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit—in just seven minutes! #ASM2024_XAward ASM

Tom Stanton (he/him) doing a fab job presenting Kaptive 3 for the first time, at #asm2024 Increased sensitivity ✅ Increased accuracy ✅ Increased speed ✅ You can check it out here: github.com/klebgenomics/K…

📣📣 #klebsiella and #acinetobacter genomics fans: Kaptive 3 is now available on GitHub. All feedback welcome. Kaptive Web and Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance PathogenWatch implementations coming soon.

Registration and abstract submission for our SMBE satellite meeting (Tokyo 26-28th Nov) is now open! Abstract submission closes on 31st August Registration is open until 31st October See our website for full details including confirmed speakers: smbepangenomes.bacpop.org

Fvantastic talk from Marie Anne Chattaway showing how genomics has revolutionised public health surveillance for Salmonella at UK Health Security Agency #ASM2024

Proud to be a childless cat lady. My car is #brat too.

📢 Job Opportunity 📢 We are looking for a talented and driven Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our team at Griffith University on the Gold Coast. If you're interested in advancing understanding of #Acinetobacterbaumannii capsules, see smrtr.io/mD9vc for more details!

My friend and colleague Ben Vezina has released this fantastic culmination of years of work, unpicking the species-wide metabolome of #Klebsiella. A wonderful pairing of lab and computational biology, check out the preprint asap!

Comment from Kelly Wyres and myself on new experimental data (from Tom Russo and colleagues) and how we define #hypervirulent #Klebsiella pneumoniae genetically across diverse lineages. thelancet.com/journals/ebiom…

Really important data on determinants of hypervirulence in #klebsiella from Tom Russo and colleagues: tinyurl.com/5h9d457k Highlights complexity of the hv pathotype and shows the impact of aerobactin varies by strain. Check out our commentary below. Klebsiella Club
