Wanted: a reward for antibiotic development. Addressing the commercial failure of the antibiotic market should be a priority for governments seeking to encourage development of new drugs against resistant bugs go.nature.com/2lWk2g6 #antibioticresistance

And here are some malaria-infected red blood cells exploding (egressing) and releasing lots of malaria parasites to infect new host cells. The blue ones are missing a gene we have been studying at The Francis Crick Institute . Find out more at mbio.asm.org/content/9/4/e0…

Rheumatoid arthritis patients express a skewed repertoire of polyclonal, hypomutated B-cell receptors biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Our latest paper on B cell receptor repertoire sequencing in rheumatoid arthritis is on BioRxiv. RA patients' repertoires have much lower frequency of IgG mutations in peripheral B cell samples. #AIRRseq #antibodies #RepSeq

Let's just pause to reflect. 10 years for the first human genome. Now 10,000 human genomes/month. My thoughts a) 🤯 b) How many malaria parasite genomes could we run with that capacity? Chapeau to the amazing DNA Pipelines Wellcome Sanger Institute

We’re pleased to introduce AIRRSHIP, a tool for simulating human B cell receptor repertoire sequences biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. AIRRSHIP is Python-based (run at command line or import as module), no dependencies, very easy to install. Docs @ airrship.readthedocs.io
