“40 adult patients and 15 children living on respirators will die immediately. 180 people suffering from renal failure will die poisoned after a few days without dialysis.” AUBMC APPEALS FOR URGENT SUPPLY OF FUEL before forced shutdown this Monday. aub.edu.lb/Documents/Augu…

New preprint showing a #SARSCoV2 nucleocapsid variant that impacts antigen test performance. One sample just didn't want to play ball with the Quidel SARS Antigen FIA, of #pac12 and #big10 fame. So we sequenced it... medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Defective freeloader viral genomes discovered by @uwvirology researchers in infections by DNA viruses in humans, suggesting defective viral genomes may play a role in far greater range of viral infections than previously recognized. Read it here: newsroom.uw.edu/news/defective…

“Simple solutions sell. But simple solutions distract us from coordinating a complex and multifaceted response befitting such a complex and multifaceted problem.” Well stated @Anna_Minkina

The pandemic put laboratory testing on the front page ... for COVID-19 tests. But (it turns out) the infrastructure for test supplies is fragile. Look at these numbers of shortages for SARS-CoV2 AND for non-COVID tests. It's widespread & ongoing. asm.org/Articles/2020/…

@GreningerLab research scientist, Amin Addetia, describes interesting mutations found in the genomes of 2 SARS-CoV-2 isolates. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I think some clinical microbiologists might appreciate this right now. Hang in there, friends!!! @ASMicrobiology

Hear from the researchers behind the COVID-19 test developed @UWMedicine. Keith Jerome, head of the Virology Division, Alex Greninger in lab medicine who headed the team that developed test. @UWVirology @WADeptHealth @KCPubHealth #COVID19seattle bit.ly/39qJJg1

Welcome to Greninger Lab. Our lab focuses on the genomics of infectious diseases and metagenomics. Specifically, we are expanding reference genomic databases through first genomes of bugs and viral discovery to study the crazy evolutionary pressures we put on viruses.
