What do you think about our new preprint? 🥳🥳🥳Please let us know! It’s about how geography, mode of transmission, and long-term host–parasite coevolution is shaping genomic variation in a microsporidium. @peterdfields biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Great conference during the last two days: In person and with free coffee. I got to present a poster about my PhD project. Check it out online: doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.…

A tool I've used recently is liftoff: github.com/agshumate/Liftoff so assuming minimap2 works pretty well aligning your two assemblies I'd bet it works pretty well getting the annotations over

Cool paper on Cladoceran macroevolution from van Damme, et al. Multiple origins of predation!

There is now enough genomic data from the US and Germany to repeat this approach to estimating Omicron-specific rate of epidemic spread. Here, we observe similar initial rapid spread in the US and Germany. 1/10

We've seen exceptionally rapid spread of Omicron in South Africa. Although we should expect this rapid spread to follow in other geographies, we've mostly lacked data to confirm this until recently. 1/21
