Delighted to see our paper studying the evolution of plasmids over the last 100 years, now out! Years of work by Adrian Cazares, also Nick Thomson @sangerinstitute.bsky.social - this version much improved over the preprint. Final version should be open access, apols.

Code for PopPIPE here: github.com/bacpop/PopPIPE
Thanks to some thorough editing in review we ironed out some errors that can arise, made the installation simpler, and added more automated output from the transmission pipline steps

Dr Esther Robinson, Head of theβ―TBβ―Unit atβ―UKHSA, said:
"TBβ―is curable and preventable, but the disease remains a serious public health issue in England. While England is still considered a low-incidence country for TB, the rise in cases over recent years means that we are now just below that threshold.
This call for evidence will help us develop an action plan that prioritises the most effective interventions to reverse this trend, focusing particularly on the needs of those most affected."
We need the help of academics, health & policy professionals, and people with lived experience of tuberculosis (TB) to shape our next TB Action Plan. Together we can improve how we prevent, detect, and control TB. π‘οΈ
