Tour de force engineering @Nature by @jgooten @omarabudayyeh discovering Cas7-11 as a collateral-free RNA targeting tool. Also a beautiful story of CRISPR evolutionary biology blurring the lines of multi-subunit and single effector defense systems

‘Southeast Asia is an Emerging Hotspot for COVID-19’ can be accessed in @NatureMedicine https://t.co/4RibpMxExd. It highlights the ongoing crisis in SE Asia. Let me explain why the world should pay more attention to SE Asia. (1/8)

It's still early in the rise of B.1.617.2 in the US, before it goes exponential as we saw w/ B.1.1.7. Our best defense is to get vaccination % (+ 2nd dose) as high as possible; all indications from UK/India is that it's a formidable variant to reckon with

#EMBLMalaria kicks off tomorrow!
We are delighted to support this fantastic @EMBLEvents meeting.

DYK that integrating resistome studies w/genomic reconnaissance can help #EndMalaria?

The US has gone from the most expensive healthcare in the world to giving potentially lifesaving vaccines out for free to now giving hundreds of millions of dollars for people to take the free vaccines. Surreal.

More on less transmission, yet another incentive:
"Our results suggest that mRNA-based vaccines do not only prevent #SARSCoV2 infections among vaccinated individuals but lead to a substantial reduction in infections among unvaccinated household members"

B.1.617.2 competing with B.1.1.7 in the UK.
Hello to B.1.617.2 (green) in the US, in addition to P.1 that is not going away.

Good way to start the day: very positive trial findings in 2,260 kids age 12-15
"Much higher antibody levels" than age 16-25 yr olds
Infections:18 vs 0 for placebo, vaccine respectively

Longitudinal assessment in Wuhan, the pandemic epicenter:
—seroprevalence was only 6.9%,
—neutralizing antibodies last > 9 months
—82% w/positive antibody were asymptomatic (ASx)
—ASx had lower levels of antibodies

@TChookajorn @ddc_riskcom @MahidolU @embatty @MORUBKK @fkochakarn Nice paper! Short, concise, investigative. A good example of transmission scenerios.

[Thanat Chookajorn @TChookajorn]

An important lesson on COVID-19 travel restrictions and exemptions. An investigative paper describes a visit by a high-ranking dignitary. Excellent team effort by @ddc_riskcom, @MahidolU, @embatty from @MORUBKK and @fkochakarn https://t.co/yfoUO14mPW
