Using WGS To Investigate an Outbreak of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium ST78; great job by Budi Permana Brian Forde UQ Medicine Beatson Lab 🏄‍♂️ journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

doi.org/10.1186/s12859… a promised an easy to use webbased cluster visualisation platform from Budi Permana Beatson Lab 🏄‍♂️ #UQCCR UQ Medicine UQ News

Delighted to finally have this manuscript published. Thanks to AIBN Research and CSIRO for having us as part of this collaboration. We discuss bioengineering of yeast fragments as a universal diagnostic reagent for detection of SARS-CoV-2 and emerging viral pathogens UQ Medicine

UQ Genomics Symposium is coming up 30th of August 9-11:30am🧬

Very excited to share our work on NMEC led by Nhu Nguyen (under review by eLife). We highlight that even with appropriate antibiotic treatment, causative NMEC that resides intestinally might not be eliminated and can cause relapse. medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Hi David S. Wishart we really want to run phastest locally. The database FASTA downloaded successfully (<1GB), however the docker image and bacterial database both stop at 1024MB. This suggests an issue like an improper setting for proxy_max_temp_file_size in NGINX. Can you fix?

TDP-43-mediated neurodegeneration is complex. We show that prior to disease onset in a mouse model of ALS/FTD, cortex neurons elicit a transient increase in protective chaperones that combat TDP-43 aggregation. Read it Nature Communications: rdcu.be/dy1PM

Really excited to present this work led by Nhu Nguyen at Institute for Molecular Bioscience in collaboration with A/Professor Sumaira Z. Hasnain Glen Ulett and Jana Vukovic.

Great work from Nick West's group at UQ UQ News nature.com/articles/s4146…
