Join us for an exciting metabolomics session on Oct. 27th @GlasgowCS, from 3:30pm with talks from @Barrett_Lab @polyomics Gavin Blackburn and Clement Regnault

📣 Super excited to announce this years #computationalbiology conference! Register below! We’ve got a great line up this year, 3rd and 4th of July save the date! @UofGARC

One more sleep until the Glasgow Computational Biology Conference kicks off! Make sure you don’t forget your posters or get lost along the way, can’t wait to welcome you all tomorrow. Our doors open from 8.45am @UofGARC #gcbc22

@OneHealthEllen @CleavelandSarah @Animal_Viruses @KJAllan2 Congratulations, and good luck with your next (bump related) challenge.

It's been a long journey with a fair few bumps along the way (no pun intended) but this week I passed my PhD viva with minor corrections! Immensely grateful to my amazing supervisors @CleavelandSarah @Animal_Viruses @KJAllan2 & everyone who has made the last 4 years so special

@robertson_lab @ChaiHaiting @jakelever0 @hhermjakob @QuanGuCVR @blJOg @CVRinfo @CVRbioinfo Congratulations. 🥂🎉🎉🎉🍾

Congrats to @ChaiHaiting for passing his PhD viva today. Thx to his examiners @jakelever0 & @hhermjakob. His project with @QuanGuCVR & @blJOg was on predicting virus host interactions eg focussing on "directionality": pro-virus vs pro-host molecular events doi.org/10.1371/journa…

@annewiddop @thevrhive Good luck.

@chrishoy This is brilliant @KirsteenT , Christmas came early.

Love this! What a superstar Kirsteen is! 😁👍🏻

1/n Check out our latest work led by @gorkalasso where we scan Earth's virome for #virus encoded #mimics of host proteins. The virus-host #evolutionary arms-race just got a little bit cooler... @HarmitMalik this one's for you 😉 cell.com/cell-systems/f… ...

With @keyuan1 we've a data scientist/computational biologist & software engineer posts to work on #SARSCOV2 genome data, evolution & epidemiology with our Africa based collaborators @mlcotten13 @george_l @nokesdj & Martin Antonio: nature.com/naturecareers/…. 26th Oct closing data!

I'm helping to teach a course at MIT this semester with Alan Edelman, David Sanders, and James Schloss (@LeiosOS) that intends to blend math and scientific computing Anyone in the world is free to follow along. youtu.be/DGojI9xcCfg youtu.be/vxjRWtWoD_w

@jtwentyman No way. How did that happen?

@JensRagnarok @vicdav_1023 B.

@vicdav_1023 The economy is totally open, has been for a long time. Tourism has taken a major hit for sure, but New Zealanders aren't travelling overseas for holidays and are travelling local which has helped a wee bit. We are still exporting and importing as we always have.

100 days of no community transmission, every one entering the country quarentined and tested at the border, currently sitting in a crowded cafe after work. New Zealand's feeling pretty good right now in the crazy Covid19 world. #nzpol #Covid_19

Sarbecovirus #ComparativeGenomics elucidates #SARSCoV2 genes & #COVID19 recent mutations. ORFs 10, 3b, 14 not protein-coding. New gene 3c. Rapid evolution in ORF8, Spike. Recent acceleration in conserved Nucleocapsid & Spike regions, overlapping constraint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

10 new SARS-CoV-2 structures this week, 170 total. Still time to enter the #CVbyCellPAINT contest--create an image of coronavirus and win a painting by @dsgoodsell rcsb.org/covid19

@samsam_13 @robertson_lab @sdrogers @PLOSCompBiol Thank you, and congratulations on your new job.

@robertson_lab @FranYoung5 @sdrogers @PLOSCompBiol Great work @FranYoung5 Well done!

.@FranYoung5's paper with @sdrogers predicting host taxonomic information from viral genomes out in @PLOSCompBiol - we investigate multiple layers of information held within viral genomes: nucleotide, amino acid, their properties and protein domains: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Excited to share my first paper with @robertson_lab & @sdrogers. #MachineLearning to predict host information of #viruses. Investigating the predictive potential of features generated from different representations of virus genomes. @PlosCompBiol @CVRinfo doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Yesterday 10 armed police and a helicopter were called to a house in Kent after reports of a big cat on the loose. The tiger is made of chicken wire and resin, and the exceptional sculptor happens to be my 85-year-old grandmother theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/m…

Full length SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with glycans running in MD shows vastly altered accessibility for small molecules and antibodies (aka #glycotime for the #COVID19 #demogorgon) @LCasalino88 (movie) @zied_gaieb @abbydommer @AmaroLab

Quick action saves lives. Fast, free, available testing saves lives. Open communication saves lives. Social distancing saves lives. Closing public places saves lives. Act now. Save lives. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #hCoV19

I wrote about the new coronavirus itself--where it came from, why it's behaving in the way it's behaving, how it infects and kills, and what the summer might bring. It's early days, of course, but this serves as a rough preliminary portrait of SARS-CoV-2. theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
