We've just added new research to the PLOS Vectors Collection! Come read about #VectorBorneDiseases transmitted by #mosquitoes, #ticks, worms, and more: https://t.co/bDD8GId6fg #NTDs
Sneak preview of our DNA extraction, sample prep and QC chapter by @Scalene and I from the upcoming "Nanopore Sequencing: An Introduction" book edited by Deamer and Branton. Hope it's of use to folk at #nanoporeconf

Tomorrow's final lecture: Lecture 10 - Virus Assembly. https://t.co/9OX002d8ap. For your presentations tomorrow Sully and I will be breaking you up randomly into two parallel groups, with one of us with each group. Lecture at 9am in Maxwell 103 as normal.
Here is tomorrow's lecture (L9 - DNA virus replication). https://t.co/skApCc1hVJ… If anyone is ready and would already like to give their 15min virus presentation tomorrow afternoon (from 14h) you are very welcome! Just WhatsApp the group to let me know.
I think the workshop, practical, qRTPCR analysis and lecture was too much to fit into today. Tomorrow I will just give the DNA virus replication talk at 9am and the practical following at 11am. I will give you the Assembly lecture on Fri morning rather than 2 lectures tomorrow :)
Here is a cross primer dimer calculator. For this one you need to put the primer name in FASTA format. For example: Line 1: ">primer 1", Line 2: "agggagagagagag", Line 3: ">primer 2", Line 4: "cgcgctcgcgagacagatg". Cross Dimers are displayed at bottom.https://t.co/knnQYxxTnB
This is another DNA Primer calculator resource, just make sure that when you design primers you use one calculator all of the time, i.e. don't switch between calculators (as they use different algorithms). Still looking for a primer to primer calculator: https://t.co/0rhjOT87ut
Here is the link to tomorrow's practical: Inoculation of embryonated chicken eggs with Newcastle Disease Virus. https://t.co/LAaB6qicEU Also please find an now updated version of the Primer workshop tomorrow that has interactive links embedded: https://t.co/ICQWFBLI11
Here are the notes for tomorrow's workshop on primer design, please bring your laptops (or have a laptop between 2). Remember all remaining lectures are in Maxwell 103. https://t.co/aamz2qvGOU

Cool work by my friend and former mentor Rennos Fragkoudis @ArbovirusAlba: Following Acute Encephalitis, SFV is Undetectable in the Brain by Infectivity Assays but Functional Virus RNA Capable of Generating Infectious Virus Persists for Life https://t.co/ylXC1EG6pf @VirusesMDPI
