Comparative subgenomic mRNA profiles of SARS-CoV-2 Alpha, Delta and Omicron BA.1, BA.2 and BA.5 sub-lineages using Danish COVID-19 genomic surveillance data - eBioMedicine Great team effort looking at more than 12000 NGS runs 😎 https://t.co/fk7JLwnZ68

@sci_questions Will be important to find out which antibody test was used, whether they looked for an increase in titre (had a sample from before exposure) and whether the test used has been validated in dogs etc.

[Soren Alexandersen @Alexandersens]

@sci_questions This does not add up, first they show that the dog has lesions consistent with MPX and positive for MPXV genome on swabs from lesions, and now, that it has not been productively infected because it has not developed antibodies to the virus after 20 days? Which antibody test used?

[Soren Alexandersen @Alexandersens]

@sci_questions Having lived in Denmark, Montana, Iowa, England, Manitoba and Australia I am also used to storms, although not exactly tropical🤓

[Soren Alexandersen @Alexandersens]

@sci_questions Maybe a good thing that I never managed to get a job in Saskatoon 😎

We are currently investigating a suspected case of #FootandMouth disease in Norfolk.
Movement restrictions and a 10km temporary control zone are in place on the farm. Preliminary testing does not indicate the presence of disease and further work is underway to fully rule it out.

[Marc Stegger @MarcStegger]

This work was only achievable through a very dedicated effort by many people @SSI_DK including @mobdjek, @tyragovekrause @rskskov @andersfomgaard, @sieber_r, @henrik_ullum, @Alexandersens, @JannikFonager, @TLillebaek, @SteenEtTo, @marcbennedbaek, @anna_c_ingham, @kimleeng

[Bloom Lab @jbloom_lab]

We’ve integrated a huge new deep mutational scanning dataset from Yunlong Cao, Sunney Xie et al in visualizations that reveal how #SARSCoV2 RBD mutations affect antibodies, including antibodies that neutralize #Omicron or are from vaccinees previously infected by SARS-CoV-1 (1/n)

One of the happiest moment after meeting with my PhD main supervisor @Alexandersens after 3 months. Though the meeting was very short, I felt like I am at home with my guardian, now onward we will meet again and again 🥳🥰

Another open access paper from GCEID, this one on detection of diverse antimicrobial resistance genes; it has been a long time under way, well done Vanina taking it to the finish line 😎 https://t.co/ggcpH4M8JV

[Soren Alexandersen @Alexandersens]

Another paper from GCEID; well done Tarka and Anthony: Exploring the Cause of Diarrhoea and Poor Growth in 8–11-Week-Old Pigs from an Australian Pig Herd Using Metagenomic Sequencing https://t.co/pJ9mpyUMNa ##mdpiviruses via @VirusesMDPI

An increased ratio of SARS-CoV-2 positive to negative sense genomic and subgenomic RNAs within routine diagnostic upper respiratory tract swabs may be a marker of virion shedding https://t.co/EDz9RkRncH

[Soren Alexandersen @Alexandersens]

@K_G_Andersen @nytimes @ScienceMagazine @jbloom_lab I am with Jesse and the co-signatories on this one. Although the probability of a natural origin is high, the probability of a lab escape, albeit very low, cannot be formally/scientifically excluded before more data become available

[Soren Alexandersen @Alexandersens]

Glad to see our paper on SARS-CoV-2 subgenomic RNAs in diagnostic samples being in the Top 50 @NatureComms SARS-CoV-2 articles published in 2020 #NCOMTop50.

@sci_questions Mainly related to vaccinations of humans; vaccines and vaccination of animals are also important and have provided significant advances over time.

[Soren Alexandersen @Alexandersens]

@sci_questions Have tried to get a position in Saskatoon since 1990 this far without any luck
