Suuuper excited about these genomes from mammoth fossils that are more than a million years old.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mammoth-genomes-shatter-record-for-oldest-dna-sequences/ One of the first pieces I wrote for @SciAm w

Two #SARSCoV2 B.1.1.7 genomes isolated in Canada were just deposited into GISAID today, respectively from BC and Quebec.Unfortunately, none of the genomes from @BCCDC today was annotated with full sample

Delighted to see our latest paper now available on biorxiv: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.11.12.380378v1In this study, we set out to solve the problem of SNP calling in bacterial pan-genomes. What problem, you say?

1/ E484K in the UK. We seem to see E484K on at least 6 different backgrounds. B.1.351 and P.2 are imported lineages, originating in South Africa and Brazil. B.1.1.7 and

SMALL THREAD: I have seen concerns going round about the theoretical possibility that vaccine mRNA could end up altering our own genomes, and that could cause long term consequences. I

We previously inferred that none of the recurrent mutations observed in #SARSCoV2 is associated with higher transmission using the first ~47k genomes. Does N501Y, widely credited as the driver of

To give some context to the recent announcement of a new #SARSCoV2 variant/mutation, it may be helpful to realise that in the paper below we identified >12,000 variants/mutations in the

Too many scientists self-proclaim their procurement of Indigenous peoples' DNA & data from non-sovereign entities as "ethical".Legal ≠ethical. Collecting genomes from Indigenous groups who are "easier to recruit&qu

This is not correct. SARS-CoV-2 is nothing like influenza virus from a virological or evolutionary standpoint. A short thread on some big differences:https://twitter.com/drtomfrieden/status/1353020200757686276 Mutation drives evolution. All

Genomic sequencing of viruses from the #COVID19 pandemic can help reveal transmission patterns. Thanks to data sharing through @GISAID from groups all over the world, @nextstrain is now showing 1882

We previously analysed recurrent #SARSCoV2 mutations for an association with increased transmission using ~47k genomes. At the time, we found no evidence for any mutation making the virus intrinsically more
