NEW: Deng et al. developed a standardized approach for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in sewage. Their success in identifying previously unsuspected patients suggests this approach could be an effective tool for COVID-19 control ➡️ ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/full/10.12…

Sewage surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 virus in the 4th wave of Hong Kong. This collaborative work led by @zhangt1968 together with @HKU_SPH and the government demonstrated its effectiveness for finding previously unsuspected patients.

After flushing 90+ Nanopore flowcells, I have decided that that was it, my arm workout for the month is done. @nanopore we are all ready to send in all these precious toys from HK, they have served us well. Looking forward to having more coming in XDXD #phdlife #hku #nanopore

New paper from @zhangt1968 lab looks at the immense viral diversity in wastewater treatment plants & demonstrates the power of #ProxiMeta Hi-C to identify #phage & affiliate them with their hosts in complex communities, outperforming CRISPR-based methods hubs.la/H0XtLDw0
