Congratulations on the success of the first-ever CFDE - GlyGen Summer Internship. Five talented interns dived into the fascinating world of bioinformatics and glycobiology during this eight-week program. #Bioinformatics #Glycobiology #glycotime

Two key points:

1. Simple and interpretable machine learning models have the best chance of being adopted in the clinic
2. Super exciting that a single ML model works across multiple cancer types!

As the BA.4 (22A) BA.5 (22B) & BA.2.12.1 (22C) variants rise in Europe, we're starting to see clear signs of increases in #SARSCoV2 cases. This will increase hospitalizations (some already being seen) - the bigger question is how much & to what outcomes.

5/ Interestingly, there are also a couple of sites with strong negative selection taking place, most notably S/410, S/735, S/1146. In BA.1, some negatively selected sites are S/11, S/68, S/1146.

Why is Omicron thriving? In @nytimes, research by CST's Sergei Pond suggests it could be the variant's unusually large number of mutations, with some working in concert to support Omicron's essential functions. https://t.co/E2Qs2YDN4v @templeuniv @templebio @myigem @TempleTUYA

The loss of N370 glycan during SARS-CoV-2 evolution allowed the Spike protein to adopt more desirable open state, thereby facilitating more efficient binding to ACE2 and higher capacity for infection https://t.co/nIJ5VJnZlA

Update: Switzerland now reports deaths by booster status.

Compared to unvaccinated people, the COVID mortality rate is:
• 9x lower after full vaccination
• 48x lower after a booster
