Thanks to the PH labs making Canadian SARS-CoV-2 sequences publicly available we were able to investigate two Delta sublineages (AY.25, AY.27) that are growing in frequency in Canada. This was a pan-Canadian effort, @CoVaRR_Net, #CanCOGeN, @PHAC_GC. See Sally's thread for more 👇

My replies are perpetually full of anti-vaxxers these days telling me about polio vaccines.

Not shockingly, most of what they are saying is wrong. Luckily, I trained with @profvrr & he taught me a few things about poliovirus.

So let’s discuss the king of the Picornaviridae👇🏻

CDC's Coronavirus and Other Respiratory Viral Diseases (CORVD) Division is looking for a biologist with sequencing experience. This is a great team, responsible for CDC's SARS-CoV-2 genomics efforts. Atlanta-based. https://t.co/epTaQGFl4n

@jeffgilchrist 👋 hello, when a decreasing lineage starts growing again that's usually a sign that a new sublineage is emerging. E.g. in eastern Canada we have FD.1.1 which might help explain that uptick. See https://t.co/Qu9X4BiCo3 for newly emerging lineages in 🇨🇦

@NTromas Felicidades!

Over the last month, #RSV has surged early and hard, placing immense pressure on hospitals and clinics. Despite this, genomic insights have been limited. Check out our Virological post describing an initial look into the #RSV surge in MA 🦠🧬

We know COVID isn't over yet; that's why we continue to monitor and evaluate the evolution of #SARSCoV2 variants and their spread in 🇨🇦.

To learn more and keep up with our analyses, check out our Computational Analysis, Modelling and Evolutionary Outcomes (CAMEO) webpage 👇🏾

[Jeffrey B. Joy @Greenbeard2]

Crucial work from my lab led by excellent PhD candidate @AngelaMcLaughin released today in @eLife reveals international travel restrictions were key for reducing spread of SC2 in Canada. Thanks contributors Vince, Rachel, @gidmord, #CanCOGeN Consortium, @MichaelWorobey, @art_poon
