An hour of #bioinformatics can save a week in the lab. ALSO An hour in the lab can save a week of #bioinformatics.

From @torstenseemann at @pha4ge Conference: "We are stealing from research money to support public health." We need dedicated funding for maintaining & supporting public health infrastructure & pipelines. Not just startup, not just in pandemics.

ABRicate 1.2.0 has been released! This 'oversight' lasted 6 years, but all the databases are updated and working again, and there is a couple of new features. #bioconda #conda #bioinformatics #microbiology #genomics https://t.co/RCipp82U3i

🚨Abstract submission & registration for #MicroSeq2025 is OPEN! 🚨Get in quick! The first 50 registrations are FREE for PhD students and ECRs who are current ASM members, thanks to @AUSSOCMIC. Head to our website to register now 👇 https://t.co/b07JPgrXly

NCBI Datasets: Easily Access and Download Sequence Data and Metadata https://t.co/sBIjOte8x2 via @ncbi

Last week we had an action packed agenda visiting our @WHO IPSN Catalytic Grant Salmonella/Shigella #WGS #AMR project partners at MRI, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 A full week of training, site visits and impactful policy meetings. Thanking Dr Sujatha and MRI for the amazing hospitality🧬👩🏻‍🔬

"Next generation Snippy will allow a detailed comparison of the world's bacterial genomes.” @torstenseemann & @wytamma are building #OpenSource software to better understand how bacteria evolve + defeat antibiotics

Highly concerning for science!

🌟 Share your insights at our 2025 Applied Bioinformatics Conference! Contribute to the effective implementation of data-driven #PublicHealth with a talk or poster at #ABPHM25 Accredited by @RCPath for 12 credits🚀 ⏰Abstract deadline: 25 March 📎 Info: https://t.co/rTL1prI6Qq

Would love feedback on a new NCBI-BLAST service we are launching today: https://t.co/bgBCjid14h It's the same BLAST executable and DBs provided by NCBI with a replica of the NIH's interface - providing an alternative to US gov service that's less congested, faster & more reliable

🦠🧬🖥️ New Bakta DB v6.0 released! After a year, it was time for a Bakta database update - and it's a huge one: - IPS: 330.9M - PSC: 135.3M - PSCC: 37M https://t.co/8sERWiPnut 👇 1/6

🦘✂️ Thanks to @cziscience, @wytamma and I are writing the next version of the Snippy bacterial variant calling pipeline. We want your input on what features s it will have. Please fill out this (longish) survey to help make Snippy great again!

We're #hiring! The Centre for Pathogen Genomics is looking for a Pathogen Genomics Trainer and Coordinator to work on the development, management and delivery of genomics training and capacity building activities within the Asia-Pacific region.

🧵1/ We are excited to share our @NatureComms piece where we explore methods for #onehealth genomic epidemiology and identify links between humans, animals, wildlife, food and the environment. Check it out here - https://t.co/BwrZxIZzi3. @TheDohertyInst @AIMI_UTS

New research: Successful management of a multi-species outbreak of carbapenem-resistant organisms in Fiji: a prospective genomics-enhanced investigation and response Read the full article here:

New year, new assemblies! I'm excited to announce Autocycler, my new tool for consensus assembly of long-read bacterial genomes! It's the successor to Trycycler, designed to be faster and less reliant on user intervention. Check it out: https://t.co/NksiyESF7u (1/5)

I really hope there isn't a Y2.25K bug.

Reminder! In the coming weeks, GenBank submitters will be required to include 'location of collection' (geo_loc_name) and 'date of collection' (collection_date) for sequence data. More info: https://t.co/SOmsohDbTJ
