Convergent #evolution of mutations at Spike position 486 in different viral lineages including new recombinant XBB.1.5. So much site-specific convergence that natural selection is screaming "LOOK HERE! THIS IS HOW I ESCAPE ANTIBODIES" @firefoxx66

Leprosy is endemic to central Florida https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/02/health/leprosy-florida.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Our lab website has been updated and looks great IMO, thanks to the work and leadership of @NanamiKubota (thank you!). It includes links to open tech, PhD, and postdoc positions. Please share! http://micropopbio.org
Regardless, I will continue to celebrate the 100s of publications citing MiGS that improve understanding of microbes. I also continue to run my lab’s facility and advise genomic analysis companies with the mission of making microbial genom…
Unfortunately, last year, my involvement in that company was involuntarily terminated, which led to an ongoing legal dispute. In addition to forcing me out of the business, the technician also chose to “rebrand” MiGS as SeqCenter, while cl…
This core was immediately successful and intellectually rewarding. I loved hearing about your exciting research and offering design and analysis tips. I called it the Microbial Genome Sequencing center, or MiGS for short (3/x)
By 2019 we …
Next-gen sequencing was revolutionary for our research. We all soon needed fast access to these data on a scale and economy appropriate for microbial clones or populations. A goal of my lab was to build this capacity and then share it with…
If you’ve used microbial #genome #sequencing services from my lab’s core facility or from the business that spun out (both called MiGS), thank you. However, as you may know, I was excluded from this center last year. Due to some ongoing c…
