ASM Bioinformatics SIG relaunch Thur 14th @AUSSOCMIC

Great work from Nick West's group at UQ @UQ_News nature.com/articles/s4146…

Really excited to present this work led by @nhunguyen2811 at @IMBatUQ in collaboration with @sumaira_hasnain Glen Ulett and Jana Vukovic.

TDP-43-mediated neurodegeneration is complex. We show that prior to disease onset in a mouse model of ALS/FTD, cortex neurons elicit a transient increase in protective chaperones that combat TDP-43 aggregation. Read it @NatureComms: rdcu.be/dy1PM

It’s out! (despite surgeries, pandemic, floods, finishing the #PhD & relocating) 📌Genomic epidemiology reveals geographical clustering of multidrug- resistant Escherichia coli ST131 associated with bacteraemia in Wales | @NatureComms doi.org/10.1038/s41467… #OpenAccess

HAIviz: an interactive dashboard for visualising and integrating healthcare-associated genomic epidemiological data - go.shr.lc/3uDaY76 another excellent tool from @nalarbudi @davidantibiotic @padstamundo @Loolibear @UQ_News

Hi @WishartLab we really want to run phastest locally. The database FASTA downloaded successfully (<1GB), however the docker image and bacterial database both stop at 1024MB. This suggests an issue like an improper setting for proxy_max_temp_file_size in NGINX. Can you fix?

Very excited to share our work on NMEC led by @nhunguyen2811 (under review by eLife). We highlight that even with appropriate antibiotic treatment, causative NMEC that resides intestinally might not be eliminated and can cause relapse. medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Delighted to finally have this manuscript published. Thanks to @AIBNatUQ and @CSIRO for having us as part of this collaboration. We discuss bioengineering of yeast fragments as a universal diagnostic reagent for detection of SARS-CoV-2 and emerging viral pathogens @UQMedicine

@padstamundo @nalarbudi @beatsonlab Both excellent work by @nalarbudi and the graphSNP paper should be out soon

You can check out GraphSNP : a cool new interactive tool from @nalarbudi @beatsonlab @fordebm to help visualise outbreaks and transmission networks based on WGS data graphsnp.fordelab.com …
