We have decided to make the move to Bluesky! Follow us here...

We will hopefully see you there!

[Oxford Nanopore @nanopore]

This week, we established a new Grant Programme to support researchers who are pursuing breakthrough science but may lack all the resources to access Oxford Nanopore sequencing. Find out more and how you can apply here: https://t.co/CYDAvmEq6e

As we wrap up for a well deserved festive break, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas from all of us in the Langridge lab + friends

We look forward to sharing more of our exciting science happening @TheQuadram with you all next year... 2025 is gonna be our year!

Emma has now promised us no more lab work for 2025 & that she is going to end thebyear with the 12 days of paper writing... 🤔 we she did promise us drafts of 3 different papers before Xmas...

Also we think she has made a start on her Christmas jumper collection a bit early! 🎄

[Langridge Lab @LangridgeLab]

Our @EmmaBeansworth has been busy again... 1st she presented our latest publication on #Salmonella Agona persistence in humans @TheQuadram's Annual Science Meeting. She did a great job summarising 3 yrs of work into 15 min

See the bits she missed out here https://t.co/iDY38oiVbJ

[Langridge Lab @LangridgeLab]

This week she has also been hosting a 18 yr old work experience student to give them a taste of working in a research laboratory! We are glad to report Stella still wants to pursue a career in science even if Emma made her process 95 samples for @nanopore sequencing in 3 days 😱

[Langridge Lab @LangridgeLab]

In the final day of @MMBDTP #comparativegenomics week, @EH_Hayles & @NisbetAlice led an outbreak investigation with the students using what they had learnt this week to find out what was behind our simulated outbreak! Prime mister @Keir_Starmer even made a surprise appearance 😮

[Langridge Lab @LangridgeLab]

Who else is excited to hear what our @EmmaBeansworth.bsky.social has planned for #WhatIsAScientist? Not even a hint? 🙄 she is such a tease

You will find me here less and less.. Hopefully, I'll see you on the other side, especially as I have some very exciting news about the big and bright future of #WhatIsAScientist? to share soon 🌅

[Langridge Lab @LangridgeLab]

@Bgsammex @gemma_langridge Awww thank you Samson! ❤️ Hopefully you will enjoy tomorrow too!

[Langridge Lab @LangridgeLab]

Day 3 of #comparativegenomics @MMBDTP week & @gemma_langridge taught us genome rearrangements are another #variation to watch for in #bacterial #genomics. Looks like all enjoyed getting involved. Over to @EH_Hayles & @NisbetAlice to lead your activity! Will Em wear a Xmas jumper?

[Emma Waters @EmmaBeansworth]

@LangridgeLab The things I do for you guys! But at least found 1/3 of the people the group follows...

You will find us here less and less... Hopefully see you on the other side! This was our @emmabeansworth.bsky.social trying to find the accounts of all the people we follow on Twitter.

[Langridge Lab @LangridgeLab]

It's that time of year! Meeting the latest cohort of @MMBDTP students & teaching them #comparativegenomics
Day 1: mapping & #variant calling. @gemma_langridge taught us valuable lessons (sanity checking your data) & @rodwell_ella showed the large scale genomics performed @UKHSA

[🦠Winnie Lee🦠 @Winni_l08]

Excited to share our publication on Salmonella Agona's persistence tactics with @LangridgeLab & @MarieChattaway!
https://t.co/ELftI0HYww
Huge thanks to @gemma_langridge, @MarieChattaway & @EmmaBeansworth for the opportunity to be involved and learn all things Nanopore! 🤗

[Langridge Lab @LangridgeLab]

Key findings from our study:
- Analysis of all 2233 UK isolates over 16 yrs, showed no specific lineages linked to chronic infection
- Increase in SNP & structural variations during early infection suggest population expansion or maybe a bottleneck as it switches to persistence🦠

[Langridge Lab @LangridgeLab]

It's HERE! Our long awaited paper revealing phylogenomic variations in #Salmonella Agona that lead toward persistent infection in @PLOSPathogens

https://t.co/iDY38oiVbJ

Great job to our @EmmaBeansworth, @gemma_langridge,@Winni_l08 & @UKHSA's @MarieChattaway & Amina Ismail Ahmed

[Langridge Lab @LangridgeLab]

Oh dear... here she goes again... pretending to be busy 🐝 🙄

[Emma Waters @EmmaBeansworth]

It's time to enjoy some downtime after a busy couple of months before another busy month...

Also, me...

Thinking about doing a postdoc? Wondering what we do all day?? @chris_zie @sofiavanmoorsel and I tracked over 19 months (!) of work & compared it to our junior postdoc data from 6 yrs ago - check out our article! #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter #phdchat https://t.co/1kkI43ost3
