All the data we produced so far on #SARSCoV2 is available at the COG-UK website: cogconsortium.uk/data/, collectively the biggest data set in the world! Remarkable effort of everyone involved in @CovidGenomicsUK . Thanks to all the Glasgow teams supporting this endeavour.

Meet GO-Seq — our LEGO based DNA sequencer! 🧬
It can read LEGO DNA and decides if it’s a respiratory virus.
Science is fun! 🔬

👀 Two further cases of measles identified in Scotland (total now 5).
If you have never been vaccinated against measles or been infected, please consider getting the MMR vaccine. It is safe & very effective.
16 Feb 2024
A further two cases of measles have been confirmed today in Scotland. We're aware of five total cases of laboratory confirmed measles in Scotland since October 2023, all of which have been linked to travel.
