I had a truly brilliant time at #VGE22 in #Hinxton! So many fantastic posters, talks & people, I could have stayed much longer to have even more discussions!
Many thanks to @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] for such a fantastic conference! ❤️😁🧬🌳

Leaving #VGE22 feeling refreshed and full of new ideas. It was a wonderful time meeting everyone. Can’t wait for May 2024 when we get to do it all again 🦠🤩

Fascinating detective work🕵️‍♀️ by @[email protected] investigating non-A-E hepatitis in children. A tour de force combination of viral and host genomics, histopathology, and serology to pinpoint AAV2 as probably cause of infection. #VGE22

Adeno-associated virus 2 #aav2 is the cause of unexpected #hepatitis in children understood via #metagenomics #VGE22 - Emma Thomson

Patrick Varilly giving a demo of how we can begin to generate MCMC phylogenetic trees in real time. Fully converged tree with results comparable to BEAST2 in as little as 8 minutes while running locally on his laptop @[email protected] @[email protected] #VGE22

Genomic sequencing & phylogenetics can and needs to be implemented on commonly circulating viruses (RSV, influenza) rather than waiting for the next pandemic. It’s up to all of us to push the boundaries of generating this data. Great talk @[email protected]! #VGE22

A fantastic keynote from @[email protected] with lessons from past outbreaks and insights into what we can do to prevent the next pandemic. Key insights: normalizing surveillance infrastructure (i.e. Bluetooth tracking) in downtime rather than responsive implementation #VGE22

#VGE22 talk by Jonathan Henney on vaccine prep. #flu A(H5) clade 2.3.4.4 may be severe if it becomes widespread, so create #vaccine reflecting avian-pig-human mosiacs from antigenically shifted #recombinants. #genomics

Interesting #chroic #virus #genomics work outlined by Tess Lambe - #hiv capsid region subject to weaker per site positive selection, with a higher syn than nonsyn site change rate in vivo during longterm infections compared to between patients #VGE22

Insights from @[email protected] on #RSV 🦠 severity in children and infants pre-#SARSCoV2. Confections, especially H. influenzas, lead to needing more support from increased severity. Very important implications for the current RSV surge seen in young children. #VGE22
