what can be better than global RNA virome and Dolja?
Nothing for me.. :)
Join RNA virus club (by @rdrpsummit.bsky.social ) already tomorrow:
Thu, Feb 12, 11:00 AM Pacific Time (US 🇺🇸, Canada🇨🇦)
(or 7pm London time 🇬🇧)
for an hour with one and only Prof. Valerian Dolja (Oregon State University)
Wild how fast conspiracy news went from "rare disease" to "mRNA vaccines" to "lab leak". HFRS-associated human hantavirus infections in Europe/Asia are a significant and persistent public health problem. Vaccines against HFRS have been around since the early 90s.
🚨New paper 🚨
Can protein language models help us fight viral outbreaks? Not yet. Here’s why 🧵👇

Beyond excited to share that the preprint for the first chapter of my dissertation is up.
So grateful to my co-authors and especially my PI, @stephseifertphd.bsky.social, for their support throughout this ambitious three-year project. Here’s to shaking up evolutionary paradigms 🥂
Our important research on SNV genomes from the PNW is out. It constitutes a timely reminder of Hantavirus circulation in US rodent population and its ability to infect multiple hosts and undergo reassortment to generate expanded genetic diversity.
Please give this a read!
Amazing work LamboðŸ¦
When you go to Zenodo to download a paper's raw data, and it's an .rds file.
For the last three years, we have gathered ALL available Hantavirus and Arenavirus surveillance data. Today, we’re glad to share the largest database ever assembled for these viruses. We hope it helps address questions from the recent ANDV outbreak and guide surveillance.
Also, I hope that this newfound love for hispanics that a lot of the scientific community seem to have developed results in more collaboration with scientists in LATAM and higher research activity there, on an equal, decolonized way.
Good thing is that pro american football is less boring than its college version.
I’d rather watch a real football match between Iran and New Caledonia tho, but go hawks
