MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde WoSSVC have rapidly sequenced #SARS_COV_2 from Scotland’s first #Covid_19 case in <24hrs using the ARTIC Network protocol. Sequence to be released tomorrow morning following QC. Thanks to arambaut Josh Quick @CVRGenomics CVR Bioinformatics Emma Thomson Medical Research Council


#SARSCoV2 genome sequence from Scotland's first #covid19UK case now available on #GISAID (EPI_ISL_413221) named Scotland/CVR01/2020 using ARTIC Network @Nanopore protocols.

#COVID19 update. Owing to the evolving situation with Covid-19 we have taken the difficult decision to postpone or virtually host our programme of courses and conferences from now until mid-June. …dconferences.wellcomegenomecampus.org/covid-19/ Wellcome Connecting Science Wellcome Genome Campus

Past few weeks have been CVR Genomics Oxford Nanopore ARTIC Network and repeat, time to work at home now, with the schools closing my two kids are set for some intensive bioinformatics training



The deltaviruses continue to expand! Until 2018, only found in humans. We found it in ducks at the same time as another group found it in snakes. Then, in number of invertebrates. And now, a novel discovery in bats! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Great work Daniel Streicker

Professor Margaret Hosie alongside VDS GlasgowVetSchool has identified a cat in the UK that was infected with #SARSCoV2, the virus that causes #COVID19, as part of a research programme to screen hundreds of samples from the feline population. Read more here👇 gla.ac.uk/news/headline_…

Today we have been at the Glasgow Science Centre showcasing our new Lego based DNA sequencer: GO-Seq, to learn about respiratory viruses, their DNA and sequencing. Glasgow Science Centre MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research CVR Bioinformatics CVR Genomics Katherine Smollett Quan Gu
