Well deserved grant 🎉for one of the best bioinformatics scientists in clinical/public health micro 🤩 We will all be waiting in anticipation for what you build next!!!
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! 🦘🦘🦘

Seq data of varying quality can be used for different public health applications (analysis, training, more). @pha4ge standardized QC tags help users share, triage, and identify a wider array of data in public repos. For more info, see: shorturl.at/1yaCw hot off the presses!

First paper from my student Daria Frolova's PhD now on biorxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… The key question: plasmids change structurally ~as fast as they mutate, so how can we decide whether 2 plasmids are "the same plasmid" for epi purposes? 1/n

OMG this week in microbiology (TWIM) podcast 303 (microbe.tv/twim/) talks about our CRyPTIC project to sequence ~12,000 M. tuberculosis isolates from 23 countries and obtain quantitative resistance phenotypes for 13 drugs. (Paper here: journals.plos.org/plosbiolog… ).
