So excited to start the year w/ our new paper @CellCellPress! #proteomics spatial map of human cells + dynamics using #organelle IP at scale. 🙌 to amazing teamwork @czbiohub and beyond. Check out portal https://t.co/Gb1TvlKcCH and paper https://t.co/YskVRBUqZi. 1/n

2/ Closer views of GISAID subsampled #H5N1 trees w/seq from BC's human case NOTE: "X" = undetermined & usually indicates mixed AAs at that position ➡️PB2 E627X – important b/c E627K confers mammalian adaptation ➡️Also in HA – E202X, G238X – both cld be significant (more soon)

It is urgent to determine if both were infected from the same source or there is sustained transmission. #H5N1 #HPAI
⚠️ BREAKING: A second pig on the same farm might have been infected with H5N1 bird flu, authorities revealed, according to Stat News. Tissue testing from the first infected pig showed that it “had virus throughout their body,” said Ryan Scholz, Oregon’s state veterinarian.
