Really excited to host Geraldine Van der Auwera, former head of outreach for GATK at the Broad Institute. Geraldine will be giving a 2-day microbial genomics course (24th/25th) using the Broads' cloud based Terra platform. @NorthumbriaUni @nuomics

What can only be described as a brilliant shambles of a first day of @VoM_UK draws to a close. Great to meet new #phage friends.
@DarrenSmithdx - it’s your round. 🍻

[VoM-UK @VoM_UK]

All ready to go for tomorrow, apart from the new camouflage on the beautiful Sutherland Building. Entrance is through the main doors of the scaffold..... Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow in the Toon.

Great post doc post with @luisadesordi on gut phages and IBD.

[Matthew Bashton @MattBashton]

After two months of hard work by @mattrcrown our new SPEAR SARS-CoV-2 annotation tool is ready for Christmas! Developed in collaboration with @RNajmanovich and Natália Teruel we have many exciting things planed for SPEAR in 2022! https://t.co/4yHHagwb4X

Here it is! I'm not sure chromosomes can be considered MGEs. What is clear is that the transfer of chromosomal genes via lateral transduction is more efficient than the transfer of classical MGEs. Our results raise questions about our definition of MGEs.

What can animal models teach us about the gut virome? Some answers in our new review with @LChaffringeon @QuentinLamy2 and @PhagePasteur in Current Opinion in Virology @ElsevierConnect. A great way to celebrate #WorldPhageWeek! https://t.co/uXig3ezGuh

[Adnan Tariq @rmadnantariq]

Huge congratulations to everyone, on our paper looking at the difference in PCR and PCR-free library preparations when resolving the virome in stool. @hsieh_ernie @CardingLab @EvelienAdri @telatin @rebecca_ansorge @BugsInYourGuts @georgemsavva.

Did our new Heath Secretary just say he could see no reason not lift all restrictions on the 19th? 🤔
