Great to be a part of this work! If you have a pangenome from your favourite bacteria with some closed genomes (made with Panaroo/ Roary) would recommend running it through Corekaburra github.com/milnus/Corekaburr… to see what structural variation you find

Excited to share our new lab work - driven by our fantastic PhD student (now Dr) @magnus_gj with @HayesScience @syctong: Cataloging of chromosomal inversions in #StrepA reference genomes. Sets an analytical framework for investigations in other pathogens. academic.oup.com/nar/article…

Excited to share our latest research which identifies the presence of the 'new' pandemic S. pyogenes clone 'M1uk' in Australian invasive #StrepA cases.

Great to see this piece of work out! Was great to collaborate with @tim_barnett1, @KalinduRodrigo and others on this study. Some interesting implications for the detection of AMR in laboratory conditions. Would recommend checking out Tim's thread here with the paper summary.

Magphi is v2.0.0! (github.com/milnus/Magphi)
What it new?
1. @HayesScience has implemented tblastn, allowing amino acid seeds as input!
2. fasta and Gff outputs will by default be oriented to have the same strand and start site, for easier passing to alignment tools.

Great to see this published! Excellent work by @magnus_gj in making something that has saved me hours of work already! Magphi can be found at github.com/milnus/Magphi and is easily installable on conda so definitely worth checking out if you are ever extracting genes from genomes!

Very happy to finally see Magphi published!
A tool to extract annotations and sequences between two seed sequences across multiple genomes.
It was build out of @HayesScience's and my necessity to extract mobile elements, but we hope others find it useful!

Particularly useful when extracting #phage or operons from genomes where the flanking genes are known but might not be conserved enough for an in silico PCR approach. It also works with gff files to keep your annotations so you don't need to re-annotate your extractions.

Very happy to see our work looking at Burkholderia glycosylation site preferences out today in @CommsBio. Special thanks to @HayesScience @JessicaLewisMic & @MDaviesLab for getting this together.

Anyone who is interested in #microbiology or the history of #science and #healthcare should definitely check out these threads from @Jake_A_Lacey. An interesting dive into the history of #strepA and in this one in our own backyard!

Todays topic in #vintageGAS #strepA #RHD #ARF, is much closer to home.
Rheumatic fever in children in Melbourne, Australia, performed at our very own @unimelb & multiple local hospitals @MCRI

Really great to have my first #bioinformatics paper published with @MDaviesLab at the @TheDohertyInst. Making use of my #structuralbiology background as well. Hopefully the first of many! @syctong @Jake_A_Lacey
