It's out! The LIN code approach for genomic taxonomy of microbial strains and its applications in genomic epidemiology journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
#Microbiology research requires a stable, unified #taxonomy of bacterial strains. In this Essay, Federica Palma, @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social and co-authors discuss the LIN system, resolving communication issues for precise strain definitions and epidemiological tracking. 🧪 #AcademicSky

Thanks to @kjolley.bsky.social @maidenlab.bsky.social @katholt.bsky.social @kelwyres.bsky.social @daanensen.bsky.social @pathogenwatch.bsky.social and many others for this huge collaboration, turning a simple concept into a practical implementation for microbial strain nomenclatures
A more complete thread will follow soon
🌟 Very proud of the newest Dr. in the team ,
Dr. @julielebris.bsky.social 👩🎓!
She brilliantly defended her PhD last Friday @pasteur.fr
Excellent thesis in terms of output & quality!
Thanks to the jury @lucyweinert.bsky.social @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social @edfeil.bsky.social Maria Halima Laaberki
Main difference with our related bioRxiv post (see pinned one)? A discussion on how the use of a common nomenclature enables at the same time, sequence data confidentiality AND recognition of identical strains across multiple surveillance institutions.
👉 Only 2 weeks to go for registrations to the famous ICARe course on #antimicrobials and #resistance in #Annecy, France: www.icarecourse.org Great course, great venue, great networking opportunity with @gdwantibiotics.bsky.social and other huge legends in the field
