The future! Definitely need to eliminate alignment of all sequences and only resolve meaningful parts of phylogeny! Also sped up in C. John Lees presents his suite of software to do efficient and scalable rapid genomic epidemiology and their main aims #ABPHM21

1/5 Introducing The Epidemiologist R Handbook! Collaboratively written by and for applied epidemiologists. Check out epiRhandbook.com and share widely!

Stephen Bentley and Stephanie Lo 's review on Global genomic pathogen surveillance to inform vaccine strategies: a decade-long expedition in pneumococcal genomics is out on Genome Medicine. It summarised lessons learned in the #GPS_project ! genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

It was fantastic to see so many GPS and Juno partners at our first seminar. Many thanks to Samanta Almeida, Bernard Beall and Paulina Hawkins for brilliant talks!

Excited to announce the release of nf-core bactmap, a Nextflow pipeline to produce phylogenies from bacterial genomes. It's been a huge collaborative effort-thanks to Andries van Tonder Thanh Le Viet & @alexgilardet (#bactmap team) + support from the nf-core team Please give it a go 1/3
