Always love a good data visulization. Sea of red at the end is not alarming 😬🔥.

@DariaVanTyne Good luck but not the same without DVT in the adjacent lab bay. 😀😥

First official day at the Van Tyne Lab! vantynelab.com

Good luck to masses of commuters taking the #mbta #redline this morning. Two packed trains at Alewife not moving for 20mins. Now way this will have compounding impacts 😒.

Recently discovered EasyFig from @biomjsull. Great visualization tool for synteny among a family of ICEs I'm studying.

@ASMicrobiology Perhaps of interest @DariaVanTyne if you have seen this yet.

A persistent E. faecium bacteremia acquired heteroresistance to 3 Abx in response to prolonged multidrug therapy: contribution of plasmid recombination ow.ly/mVrA30jgVvg #ASMClinMicro

Amazing. Until we make software that can devise schemes for bespoke molecular cloning and comparative genomics analysis. Then I'm out of a job 😟. twitter.com/nature/status/…

@josealemos @Fr_Lebreton Perhaps we could combine our talents and interests to see what traits are enriched in these virulent serotypes on a broader level... #SequenceAllTheThings

First WGS (fully annotated) paper out of the Lemos lab... A CBP+ T7SS+ hypervirulent strain of S. mutans. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/om…

@DariaVanTyne Indeed... watched the nanopore tech update last night. twitter.com/nanopore/statu… Homopolymers give flat signal. Alabacore uses signal length to guess the # of bases. They have new pores on the way to counter this. Perhaps soon we will have publishable minION only genomes.

Saw this and momentarily paniced it negated my PhD work. Only changes part of a figure in a review I coauthored. 😌 Now curious about the true ppGpp-dependent pathway controlling persistence in G-'s mbio.asm.org/cgi/content/lo… twitter.com/WvSchaik/statu…

#mbta #redline "moderate" delays once again. The @MBTA should at least provide games. Round of Settlers or Risk anyone. We've got plenty of time on our morning commute.

Thanks to @DariaVanTyne. I had a feeling those delicious, well-textured, and shelf-stable foods were hiding something. twitter.com/DariaVanTyne/s…

Inaugural run of the MinION in the Gilmore Lab. De novo assembly = closed chrom. and 3 plasmids. Some expected SNPs but not bad. #nanopore

@DariaVanTyne Indeed. EdgeR has some nice graphical outputs needing little tweaking. Next challenge... MinIon data and de novo genome assembly. #PhageAway

RNASeq pipeline in R up and running... Trimmomatic -> QuasR for mapping and feature counts -> edgeR for differential expression. #bioc2017

@DariaVanTyne Secretive conjugative elements ... sounds pretty familiar. How didn't I know about this? Thanks @DariaVanTyne

@leonorabit educating #BBM2017 on the usefulness of pitcher plants as "islands" to study host factors that influence bacterial communities

Great talk by @DariaVanTyne at #BBM2017. Outbreak isolates of E. feacalis gain recurring SNPs that increase tolerance to beta-lactams.
