📢#LatestPublicationAlert !
@ansilbr2009 & team from @uramakri's lab have identified five novel adenovirus lineages in Rattus satarae, an endemic forest-associated rodent species in the Western Ghats.

We’re excited to collaborate with @NCBS_Bangalore to launch the PRISM Fellowship (Promoting Research and Inclusion in STEM). It offers an unparalleled opportunity for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to gain research experience, academic skills & mentorship at NCBS.

We have a Kannada abstract for this work, which appears on the Am Nat website.

It was pretty challenging to come up with Kannada terms, but thanks to amazing Kollegala Sharma @kollegala, as always.

What is ancient DNA? Can biologists go back in time to look at lost genetic diversity in a species? @uramakri in @NatureInd Podcast talks about how tiger trophies can give us a glimpse of the past and inform tiger conservation in future.
Tune in now!

New paper with Viktoriia Radchuk, @ksuryawanshi & @voigtbatlab . The last from my PhD at @IZWberlin and the 1st with my new workplace @ncfindia
Mountains are hard to work in, bats are elusive. How well do we know bats that occur only in mountains?

🔴 A recent study on long-term surveillance in #Vietnam reveals that live bird markets pose a significant risk, harboring high levels of avian influenza A viruses, including dangerous H5N6 strains. https://t.co/qwOzOcJfdG

!May 2021! Peak of the 2nd wave, with @RajeshPandayLab and @virology_chitra, and many collaborators we proposed a program to explore unknown potential pathogens in northeast India. 2024: we met @ictstifr for https://t.co/cRswca7Ir6. 3 years, waiting, but still working together!

[Joe Tobias @ja_tobias]

Hot on the heels of the Giant Hummer paper in PNAS, another big-hitting bird speciation story appears, this time gracing the cover of Science. Langmore et al. show that coevolution between parasitic cuckoos and their hosts may drive sympatric speciation. https://t.co/K8NVfFctaB

While Covishield is no longer relevant today, it served its purpose well despite rare side effects. I just wish that more had got it sooner. I also wish that we could keep politics away from vaccines. @TSB_Ashoka

[Philippe Le Mercier, ViralZone @ViralZone]

In our latest version of ViralZone (April 24), all virus profiles are now linked to @NCBI virus. This resource is a community portal for viral sequence data from RefSeq, GenBank and other NCBI repositories.

Applications open! https://t.co/5Hu1V7qDR6
with @fishtiaq @ansilbr2009 and supported by @ictstifr.

[Uma Ramakrishnan @uramakri]

Amazing adventures that lead to amazing science! But time to say goodbye.. Also time for a new field vehicle. @anandmahindra, please help us continue our research on endangered species. Field vehicles are expensive, yet critical to molecular ecology and conservation research!

[Rakesh K Mishra @3RakeshMishra]

It appears that an invisible wave of COVID-19 has just passed. Vacccines and hybrid immunity have done a great job. Wastewater surveillance helps us "see" even the invisibles! The environmental surveillance should be a regular component of our healthcare system.

[Tata Institute for Genetics and Society, India @TIGS_India]

#Realtime #SARSCoV2 in sewershed sites wastewaters & reported COVID-19 cases. The viral load has been constantly high, above the threshold line

Wastewater surveillance helps to keep track of emerging pattern in #SARSCOV2 & must be used as a complementary tool to clinical testing

[MicrobeTV @profvrr]

More evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was a zoonosis. Attacking me won't affect the data, folks.

Genomic surveillance reveals circulation of multiple variants and lineages of SARS-CoV-2 during COVID-19 pandemic in Indian city of Bengaluru https://t.co/nOcO4fQfWI #bioRxiv

Amazing day at @ddnandankanan with @Vinay_Sagar8 and Rajesh Mohapatra. Wow! just look at the signage outside the black tiger enclosure! Amazing to have been a part of this discovery, and to share it with the public! The QRcode even links to the @PNASNews paper.

Additionally, we've updated Nextclade at https://t.co/6ZJOIqCumR to appropriately call clade 22D viruses. 4/4
