My first ever review paper is out today! It's an overview of data sketching algorithms and their use in genomics. It's light reading for a Friday afternoon - promise!

Factors other than AMR contributed to pathogen success over the antibiotic era. We used temporal GWAS to identify these, including a widely distributed novel adhesin. Check out @RJBennett33’s epic work here to find out more https://t.co/Z7oPffBBFR

We've been convening a working group on genomics for AMR surveillance for the past five months.
We couldn't fit the whole AMR surveillance community in one zoom room but want to include everyone's thoughts!
Please feed into the work by having your say here 👇
Very excited to see our paper on using reference graphs to allow genotyping of both core AND ACCESSORY variation in bacteria https://t.co/xJGfyMPCiJ. This is the culmination of a huge amount of work by @mbhall88 @leandro_ishi @ZaminIqbal and more
GRAIL is pleased to partner with the @NHSEngland to investigate the implementation of @GalleriTest. The NHS-Galleri trial is a significant step toward bringing Galleri to patients in the UK, supporting the NHS’s goal of diagnosing cancers earlier. https://t.co/hlOokIGSLX
Finding cancer early, when treatment is more likely to be successful, is one of the most significant opportunities we have to reduce the burden of cancer. Combining forces with Illumina will get the Galleri test into the hands of patients and providers far faster.
Have a short wet lab microbiology PDRA post coming up - 9 months full time or ideally extended duration part time working (e.g. 18 months 0.5 FTE). Cool longitudinal experiments on AMR dynamics in collaboration with brilliant math modellers. PM if interested.
First primary analysis #Shigella paper from the lab - well done to @RJBengtsson who led the work, the rest of the team, and, as ever, our amazing PHE collaborators
#snakemake 6.2 features integration of pipelines from other WMS (e.g. @nextflowio). For example, this allows you to quickly extend any @nf_core pipeline with your paper specific plots, leveraging Snakemake's @ProjectJupyter integration. https://t.co/Slb2MpzatG
We can all agree on the need for reliable, accurate & fast methods for sequencing SARS-CoV-2. The #NEBNext ARTIC kits are based on the work of @NetworkArtic & @Scalene, include balanced V3 ARTIC primer pools & are compatible with @nanopore and @illumina.

Great paper now out from @GraceBlackwel1 !

Grace wanted to study MGEs across the bacterial phylogeny, so assembled 661,405 bacterial genomes (all data from ENA as of Nov 2018, minus those failing QC), providing the community with a great resource. 1/n
