Excited to share our latest work 'Multiple horizontal mini-chromosome transfers drive genome evolution of clonal blast fungus lineages' biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @smlatorreo @AngusMalmgren @Adeline_Harant @joewinnz @YuSugiharaY @hernanaburbano @KamounLab @ThorstenLangner (1/9)

It's a deliberate choice to expose those most vulnerable to a high risk pathogen in an environment they can't avoid, even if it means they die or develop long COVID. There's nothing passive about this- given how simple prevention would be. It's a choice.

People aren't just catching COVID in hospitals- they're being exposed to COVID as part of a deliberate policy choice of not taking any precautions. This is entirely a preventable issue- and it's a choice to let vulnerable people die of COVID they were exposed to in hospital.

They should watch autumnwatch.

I’m extremely grateful and excited that my #ERCStG “PANDEMIC” has been selected for funding by @ERC_Research! In this project we will design wheat immune receptors against the pandemic wheat blast fungus by turning the host’s weak spots into a defense strategy.

Very excited to publish this great #openwheatblast community effort on how a clonal lineage of the #wheatblast fungus has gone #pandemic and is threatening food security at this very delicate time biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

Super excited to share my first first-author paper from my PhD! We propose an activation-and-release mechanism for paired NLR immune receptor proteins in the NRC network. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #NLRbiology #PlantPath #plantsci #resistosomes🧵(1/14)

Our new @biorxivpreprint The impact of SNP calling parameters on the population history of the rice blast fungus tinyurl.com/463fm86r Work led by @smlatorreo with @ThorstenLangner @AngusMalmgren @joewinnz from @KamounLab @TheSainsburyLab @CloeFor @uclbiosciences

Dr Joe Win explained how #OpenScience can help us rapidly respond to plant diseases such as wheat blast. #OpenWheatBlast is a great example of how instantly accessible data can help solve global problems. openwheatblast.net

Wheat blast was recently reported in Africa for the first time. We analyzed genotyping data recently posted by Tembo et al. to compare isolates from Zambia with other populations #openwheatblast #openplantpath zenodo.org/record/4605959 zenodo.org/record/4618522

Super exited to share my first last-author paper now published on bioRxiv! This was a great collaboration involving @AdamRBentham @yo_petit @ryoheiterauchi @mjbanfield @KamounLab @joewinnz and Izumi Chuma. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
