@ScotRail I left this large A0 size poster on Edinburgh to Glasgow express train, arrived 1637 Queen St yesterday. It was on luggage rack above my seat in the 2nd carriage, in a long cardboard box with my name. Has it been handed in to lost property at Queen St or Waverley?

@mikeirons12 There are some excellent composers who aren’t so well known outside of Russia. I recommend Georgy Sviridov. classical.music.apple.com/gb/album/12399…

Your favourite Russian or Soviet composer?
Mine... Rachmaninov.

BA.2.75, an #Omicron sublineage of BA.2, designated variant V-22JUL-01 by @UKHSA, is now being tracked in COG-UK Mutation Explorer @COGUK_ME. See sars2.cvr.gla.ac.uk/cog-uk/ @CovidGenomicsUK

Omicron (BA.1) is taking over in the UK with its 147,784 sequences. BA.2 is present but still very low in numbers (88 sequences). Follow us on sars2.cvr.gla.ac.uk/cog-uk/

@michaelfromuk @GracelessHippo @_wharvey @COGUK_ME @CovidGenomicsUK @CVRbioinfo @CVRinfo Wheat is a hexaploid with a pretty big genome isn't it? My background is actually in botany, somehow found my way into virus research.
English
@GracelessHippo @DerekCVR @_wharvey @COGUK_ME @CovidGenomicsUK @CVRbioinfo @CVRinfo About 10 years ago I did some gene analysis of wheat (I think). I thought it'd be simple to number crunch, but the DNA, zipped up, took hours to download, and couldn't be uncompressed on my PC.
And that's wheat.

Our resident protein structure guru @_wharvey has created some beautiful new spike images, now available in Mutation Explorer, including this one of #Omicron (BA.1). sars2.cvr.gla.ac.uk/cog-uk/ @COGUK_ME @CovidGenomicsUK @CVRbioinfo @CVRinfo

#Omicron (B.1.1.529) has been split into sublineages BA.1 and BA.2. BA.1 data are currently available in Mutation Explorer @COGUK_ME. BA.2 is being tracked and will appear if found in UK data. Next update 7am tomorrow. sars2.cvr.gla.ac.uk/cog-uk/ @CovidGenomicsUK @CVRinfo @CVRbioinfo
