Genomic machine learning by MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research and @IBAHCM supports the suspected bat origin of the novel Wuhan coronavirus, but cannot rule out intermediate hosts. See science.sciencemag.org/content/362/64โฆ for algorithm details. Thanks to Fudan University, CDC China and Virological Posts for the data


Brilliant day at 1st WordCamp Glasgow #WCGla yesterday. Thanks to speakers, Neil Scott + organisers, caterers Soul Food Sisters, Project Ability. Enjoyed meeting devs, creatives, business owners. Community spirit - this is how conferences should be. Looking forward to 2nd one!

Incredibly proud UofG's Centre for Virus Research MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research has been named as one of 13 key centres in a pan-UK alliance of scientists, working on #COVID19 whole genome sequencing.๐ฆ Read moreโก๏ธow.ly/NYq8102d5oD #unisupport #WorldChangingGlasgow #TeamUofG


I'll be presenting the COG-UK Mutation Explorer at the first University of Glasgow Computational Biology Conference this afternoon. Register for free here: cbc.dcs.gla.ac.uk CVR Bioinformatics COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research


#Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant genomes in UK SARS-CoV-2 sequence data are now being actively tracked in COG-UK Mutation Explorer COG-UK Mutation Explorer, with data updated daily. sars2.cvr.gla.ac.uk/cog-uk/ COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research CVR Bioinformatics #SARSCoV2 #COVID19

#Omicron (B.1.1.529) has been split into sublineages BA.1 and BA.2. BA.1 data are currently available in Mutation Explorer COG-UK Mutation Explorer. BA.2 is being tracked and will appear if found in UK data. Next update 7am tomorrow. sars2.cvr.gla.ac.uk/cog-uk/ COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research CVR Bioinformatics

Our resident protein structure guru Will Harvey has created some beautiful new spike images, now available in Mutation Explorer, including this one of #Omicron (BA.1). sars2.cvr.gla.ac.uk/cog-uk/ COG-UK Mutation Explorer COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium CVR Bioinformatics MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research


BA.2.75, an #Omicron sublineage of BA.2, designated variant V-22JUL-01 by UK Health Security Agency, is now being tracked in COG-UK Mutation Explorer COG-UK Mutation Explorer.
