New analysis method by João Luís Reis-Cunha identfies non-clonal #Leishmania & #Trypanosoma infections post-culture. Result: ≤7% are not clonal, depending on the species @bmcgenomics @YBRI_UoY @UniOfYork @BiologyatYork

Contains the scripts and test files for the manuscript "Detecting complex infections in Trypanosomatids using in whole genome sequencing reads"" - jaumlrc/Complex-Infections

I expect differences in breeding and rate of sex in other Leish populations or species due to eco-epidemiology, and perhaps 'sand fly residence time' @gwaconstable . .

New method by @gwaconstable found that #Leishmania do meiosis around once/10k mitotic generations. And inbreeding varies between L. donovani pops. The tool runs with SNP data for any diploid eukaryote. @YBRI_UoY @UniOfYork @BiologyatYork.

The UK @Conservatives party leader @RishiSunak has made headlines - for rolling back their already inadequate net zero pledges. UK citizens: let's vote them out next time, shall we? Some views my own, some from a highly respected scientific journal.

Farewell to Accadius Lunayo (for now). Accadius came from @uonbi to @UniOfYork for 5 months. He learned genome-scale research and with help from João Reis-Cunha produced analysis for a publication (coming soon). Well done Accadius! ❤️@YBRI_UoY @YorkBiolRes @UniOfYork

New preprint by João Reis-Cunha: aneuploidy in Trypanosomatids is ancestral, maintains higher diversity, and has all the genes on the same strand. A frozen accident? @YBRI_UoY #Leishmania @BiologyatYork @ufmg @The_MRC.
