I worked with the Australian Science & Maths School to design new Year 10–12 curricula: phage hunting, of course! The students discovered & sequenced a new jumbo phage, and will present their work at @abacbs.bsky.social in Adelaide next week. Proud of these young scientists!

Fascinating! Genetic risk factors for disease susceptibility show little association with disease progression/mortality. Important as most individuals only approach the health care system after developing symptoms. #genomics

Limited overlap between genetic effects on disease susceptibility and disease survival - Nature Genetics
Systematic comparison of genome-wide association results for disease risk and disease-specific mortality for nine common diseases across seven biobanks finds limited overlap between genetic effects on disease susceptibility and survival.

Just about to push a big update to our R package TaxSEA where we've spent a lot of time collating data from the BacDive database so it's readily usable in a metagenomics analysis. See example below from the HMP IBD data. #metagenomics #bioinformatics #microbiome #microbiota
