Our latest COVID-19 sequencing results data from Chicago region. Figures both show the same data represented as number of variants per week of collection or proportion of total per week. Only 3 isolates from last week sequenced so far, but BQ.1 is increasing. No XBB yet.

This was a great visit and a great workshop! Really excited to return next year.
@RLorenzoRedondo and @egonozer presented a 5-day Pathogen Genomics and Bioinformatics workshop at @AKUGlobal in Karachi, Pakistan. Thank you for being a bright, dynamic and patient class as well as fantastic hosts to these first-time visitors. Looking forward to the next trip!

May 4th. Going to be great day for pathogen genomics! Looking forward to exciting and informative presentations from my colleagues at @NM_IDSteward @LuriePedsID @cee_nwu and Northwestern Microbiology-Immunology.
Today(!) is the deadline for submitting a poster abstract to the Northwestern CPGME symposium "Genes, Genomes, and Infections". Please register and join us May 4th for workshops, posters, and talks on the practice and promise of pathogen genomics.

Pls RT: Postdoc applicants: Come join us in the @AlanRHauser1 Lab (Northwestern U, Chicago) as we ask the question, “How does Pseudomonas aeruginosa cause severe infections?” See https://t.co/UBR9tR3Scg to apply.

Updated COVID-19 variant surveillance for the Chicago area through Northwestern Medicine. Most recent sequenced specimens were collected March 10. Recent weeks with a larger proportion of Omicron BA.2 and less BA.1. Delta also still making rare appearances.

Chicago-area COVID-19 sequencing update. Most recent test in this data was collected Feb 17. In Dec/Jan we were sequencing ~6 - 10% of positives each week, now increasing again to ~12 - 20+%. Takeaways: 1) Omicron BA.2 not making much headway so far; 2) Delta is still out there.

If the United States ignores #COVID19 in #Nigeria , we forgo global genomic surveillance at our own peril, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study published in @NatureComms. https://t.co/0EcAXHlN9U

What do you need to know about #stealthomicron? @egonozer, @NM_IDSteward @NorthwesternMed, tells @aarp vaccines will work for the subvariant at about the same level at original Omicron.

A team of @NUCATSInstitute members at the Northwestern Medicine Center for Pathogen Genomics and Microbial Evolution continues to sequence thousands of samples to identify SARS-CoV-2 variants circulating in the Chicago region in near real-time — https://t.co/9sTGV6o36f

Wonderfully insightful commentary from our colleague Dr. Moses Adewumi at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria on our recent publication in Nature Communications. Important context on the challenges and rewards of conducting COVID-19 research in Nigeria:
