Really proud to share the PhD thesis work of Rui Xiao. One day, while using long-read RNA-seq for annotation of the genome, he discovered polycistronic transcripts in Cryptosporidium parvum. Read all about it at: https://t.co/W64taVCKnE

We are at #toxo24 running a pre-meeting #toxodb workshop. Looking forward to two busy days working through exercises.

[VEuPathDB @veupathdb]

Another workshop completed. Training our community has been a core component of what we do. Great students too!

My husband and inner circle got me good last week! My family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and students truly surprised me with a party at a local brewpub, Akademia. Thank you all so much for your friendship and for sharing this journey.

[Jessica C Kissinger @jcklab]

Congratulations to Dr. Rui Xiao! He successfully defended his thesis this week in ⁦@uga_iob⁩ and ⁦@CTEGD⁩. He has made important contributions to our understanding of transcription in Cryptosporidium.

Honored to speak at the Asian University for Women Mahsa Amini campus https://t.co/3vQAOCOqoP in Chittagong, Bangladesh as a guest of the Bioinformatics Club and the American Corner Chattogram. The women and the institutional philosophy are such an inspiration. Look them up.

Such a pleasure to welcome the global Cryptosporidium community to Philadelphia and ⁦@pennvet⁩ for the first biannual Cryptosporidium meeting.

Couldn’t agree more!

#crypto2024 I learned last night about the importance of the designation of a Neglected Tropical Disease and how this can aid drug development. @WHO has not (yet) designated Cryptosporidium as an NTD. Probably time to consider.
