Introducing SimPlot-CL! 🧬
Recombination plays an important role in viral evolution. Similarity plots are a great way to visualize recombination patterns, but generating them across many genomes can be cumbersome

From Torsten Seemann at @pha4ge Conference; "We are stealing from research money to support public health."

We need dedicated funding for maintaining & supporting public health infrastructure & pipelines. Not just startup, not just in pandemics.

Thrilled & honoured to have run the first @pathoplexus workshop with @chaoranchen @pagasi @kanyerezi30 & Arthur Shem Kasambula at @pha4ge on Saturday! 🎉🤝

A fantastic turnout & wonderful time spent with curious users!
