New year, new assemblies! I'm excited to announce Autocycler, my new tool for consensus assembly of long-read bacterial genomes! It's the successor to Trycycler, designed to be faster and less reliant on user intervention. Check it out: github.com/rrwick/Autocyc… (1/5)

Integrating different types of data across sectors can be challenging. The Canadian One Health AMR genomics contextual data standard, built in partnership with the Can gov't, is readily adapted for international use and supports public data sharing. #GRDI osf.io/preprints/osf/…

Proud and thankful for positive reception we've had on our approach to embedding pathogen genomics research at the public health interface @auspathogen National collaboration has been critical for generating evidence for use and impact of genomics-informed public health in Aus.

Out today, the recipe for pathogen genomics implementation in Australia. 📜 1 tbsp of strong existing collaborations, 2 tbsp governance agreements, 1 tbsp computational infrastructure, and 10 tbsp of belief in the cause. See below for instructions! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It is hard to overestimate Torsten's contribution to microbial genomics, since so much applied work runs on his stuff. Awesome news!

I am excited to win a CZI EOSS grant! This is the first grant I have ever won after 20+ years in science. It feels wonderful to finally be funded for my open-source contributions. With @wytamma we will deliver the next generation of my popular Snippy software! 🦘🦘🦘
