Very pleased to see this Zika uORFs project nicely compiled into this lovely pre-print! As always, it was a pleasure to work with @NereaIrigoyen, @CharlotteLefvr4, and all the other authors!

Our latest preprint ‼️ 🚨

“Zika viruses 🦠 encode multiple upstream open reading frames in the 5′ viral region with a role in neurotropism 🧠” 😱😱😱

What does it mean???

A virus changes how it copies and reads its genetic code to make more proteins from fewer genes. https://t.co/RSkYQNi0ef

Very excited that my main PhD project is now published in @eLife, accompanied by a very nice impact summary by Martina M Yordanova and Pavel V Baranov! https://t.co/z96Fdh3i9P

I've found CIAlign very useful for working with multiple sequence alignments - out now after much careful and diligent development! Congratulations @thekatybrown1, @schnamori, @FirthLab!

[Katy Brown @thekatybrown1]

CIAlign, by @schnamori, @FirthLab and me, has been published in PeerJ https://t.co/jiRxshoTuo ! My first senior author paper! CIAlign allows you to remove sources of noise from an MSA and produce publication-ready visualisations @PeerJLife @CamPathology 🧵1/5

This was the first application of ribosome profiling to an arterivirus, revealing many novel features which add to the complexity of gene expression programmes in this important family of nidoviruses. But most of all, it was great fun and I learnt loads! Thanks to all involved😊

Finally, we looked at the host response to infection and found that (similarly to coronaviruses) transcriptionally induced genes were often poorly translated, indicating a dampening of the host response at the translational level.

I'm super proud to share #Lithuania's #SARSCoV2 genomic surveillance programme's 1st paper, published today in @NatureComms. It's about a worrisome lineage called B.1.620 discovered in 🇱🇹, across Europe & traced to central Africa. Here's a 🧵about it https://t.co/lNFQ5Xt6mO 1/15

Really enjoying #biodiversitygenomics2021 so far, loads of interesting talks and posters. My talk on "Identification of viral transcripts in RNA-seq datasets from bees, wasps, mites and ants" is today in the 18:00 BST Stream B session.
