Comprehensive transcriptome assessment in PBMCs of post-COVID patients at a median follow-up of 28 months after a mild COVID infection reveals upregulation of JAK/STAT signaling and a prolonged immune response 🧪 #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #PostCovid #LongCovid #PASC doi.org/10.3389/fimm...

Incredible how quickly Yunlong Cao & co provide us w/info on the latest emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. Already, we have great data on BA.3.2 (the divergent saltation lineage detected in South Africa & the Netherlands & NB.1.8.1, an emerging contender for global dominance. 1/9

Peto's Paradox—that cancer does not increase with body size of mammals—was wrong. A new, comprehensive study of 263 species documents higher cancer prevalence with increasing body mass. Some large animals (e.g. elephants) have some built-in genetic adaptations www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @pnas.org

At Stockholm University, we are now starting a 2-year Master’s programme in Evolutionary Genomics! Topics include population genetics, phylogenetics, molecular & genome evolution, DNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and palaeogenetics. Please spread the word! www.su.se/english/sear...

Tis the season for #holiday lights. #avianinfluenza sequencing up and running on our new #mk1d from ⁦‪Oxford Nanopore at ⁦‪Pasteur Cambodia‬⁩ . #nanopore #oxfordnanopre #genomic #h5n1 #alliwantforchristmas #anywhereanything #virosky #idsky 🧪🦠🧬🔬🥼🥼🧑‍🔬

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :) Link for application: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

Been a while since I used adaptive sampling, and first time since some new upgrades were listed in the MinKnow update notes. Looking forward to analysing the results. 🧪 #Nanopore #Sequencing #Microbiology

One reason why we could sequence so many SARS-CoV-2 samples at the height of testing was because of very easy to use tools and workflows for analysis. When the person doing routine work in the lab can start everything without the need for a specialist everything speeds up doi.org/10.3390/ijms... 🧪

In 2015 we discovered 'Loki', the first member of the Asgard archaea, the closest relatives of eukaryotes. Did you know that in stead of Lokiarchaea, we considered the name Eoarchaea. 'Eo' after Eos, the greek goddess of dawn, and in reference to the eocyte hypothesis for the origin of eukaryotes.

The research group I'm part of is hosting the Genomic Medicine Sweden Infectious Diseases Meeting in Uppsala. Two fun and interesting days.🧪

Used DALL-E through #ChatGPT to generate a very specific clipart for a presentation in a course I'm taking. Just needed a few small manual edits in paint. net and then it was ready. Very handy. #AIart

My first article was published last year. Showed our #SARS-CoV-2 whole-genome #sequencing results from the Uppsala & Örebro regions of Sweden for 2022-2023. Mutation tracking during this period was interesting and affected monoclonal antibodies used to treat patients. www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/11...

Hi everyone on BlueSky! I'm Jonathan Haars, a PhD-student at Uppsala University and Uppsala University Hospital. I have a background in evolutionary #Biology but now my focus is on #Microbiology, #Virology and #Metagenomics. I work a lot with PCR and #Nanopore sequencing, #SciComm #Science

Dropping my entire Zotero library into VOSviewer turns out to be a fun way of showing my science interests and how various research topics and previous student projects are connected.
