Integrating measles wastewater and clinical whole-genome sequencing enables high-resolution tracking of virus evolution and transmission Measles outbreaks have surged globally in recent years, but current surveillance systems have limited capacity to monitor measles virus (MeV) transmission and evolution at population scale. Although M...

New preprint from our Gates-funded Modjadji initiative showing that whole-genome surveillance of measles virus from wastewater greatly expands our ability for monitoring and control.

Here, with our colleagues in South Africa - U.S., unfortunately, likely up next.

In light of recent P2 solo developments have dusted off an old image and updated it a little …….. 😉 @nanoporetech.com

Have you played around with any of the newer small microcontroller boards? Adafruit Trinkets or Pi Pico 2?

Laptop running MinKnow with MK1D

Very excited to be using the soon-to-be released MK1D for HBV sequencing from Uganda!

For a few years I've been thinking about calling somatic mutations without matched normals using long read haplotypes. I've posted a preprint with my experiments to explore when this works (and when it doesn't) and developing a prototype mutation caller ("smrest"): www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
