Do you make core genome alignments for phylogenomics? @monaltaouk and I explored how including sites with some missing data (a soft core) can improve analysis, especially for large datasets.

Our final presentation in this session is our #PhD student @monaltaouk covering a recent hot topic #mpox #CentreforPathogenGenomics #research #publichealth @tstinear @BenjaminHowden @torstenseemann @TheDohertyInst @UniMelbMDHS @TheRMH
Very excited to share my poster on our recent Treponema pallidum paper at #IMMEMXIII

Maintaining genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2.
As rapid tests have largely replaced PCR for COVID-19 diagnoses, an approach to genomic surveillance from these is needed. See our latest in @TheLancetInfDis, with @GenevieveEMart1, @monaltaouk

Very pleased to see this work on the genomic epidemiology of syphilis in Australia finally published. A massive thank you to all the authors - especially our joint first authors @georgetaiaroa @ShivaniPasrich1 and @Sophie_Herman, and Prof Deb Williamson.

Syphilis has not been left to the history books, but is making a come-back. @monalisa_taouk illustrates, there are a number of lineages and sublineages circulating in Australia following direct sequencing from clinical samples #MicroSeq2021
Thanks! Had so much fun presenting this work at #MicroSeq2021
Nice work demonstrating the utility of targeted enrichment of Treponema (challenging to culture) to investigate genomic epi of syphilis epidemics #MicroSeq2021 @monalisa_taouk

A huge study led by Mat Beale @typeMAT12, expanding the known diversity of Treponema pallidum through NGS of a geographically and temporally diverse sample collection.

Very pleased to have been able to present this research on syphilis in Victoria!

July 27 France had 514 cases of #covid19
July 27 Victoria had 532
October 16, France had 25,086.
October 16, Victoria had 2.
October 17, we had 1.
like it, hate it, pick a side- whatever suits you- undeniable that this has worked. with costs? yes. but the alternative? wow.

Tonight people in Beirut are going to sleep in shattered homes, during a deadly pandemic, with a collapsing economy led by corrupt politicians, surrounded by countries that have attacked & threatened them and a world that has abandoned them and their refugees. They deserve better

Our pre-print is up! Super excited to have contributed to this cool #proteomics work (and to see my name on a paper for the first time!) Huge thanks to @Nick_E_Scott for the opportunity 🎉 – at Melbourne, Victoria
What are we missing by using hydrophilic enrichment? Improving bacterial glycoproteome coverage using total proteome and FAIMS analysis. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv
So lucky to have two brilliant women as my supervisors @hayleyjnewton and @drdebwilliamson Never a shortage of women to look up to @TheDohertyInst #IWD2020
Thanks @miku187 ... what a pleasure and a privilege to work with so many talent women ... you, @nicolelausci @_lozbird @monalisa_taouk @33ecirtap just to name a few #IWD2020
