Building on the UShER tree of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes maintained by Angie Hinrichs, Hugh Haddox and Georg Angehrn (and others in @matsen.bsky.social lab and @jbloomlab.bsky.social) have looked into how the neutral mutation rate varies along the genome: [1/N] www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Incredibly excited to share that our manuscript was just published in @nature.com ! What a way to start the new year! 🎉 https://buff.ly/4gyYCzx We present phylowave, a framework that enables to learn the fitness dynamics of pathogens from phylogenies. 🧵 A thread... 1/n #IDSky #IDModelling

🦠🔍 Tracking Pathogen Evolution in Real Time A new tool, 'phylowave', has been developed to help scientists track how viruses and bacteria evolve. It identifies new variants with increased fitness, offering insights into diseases like #COVID19 and flu. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm 🧪

Hey bluesky! It's great to see so many new folks jumping on the #IDSky wagon. If you're at #TropMed24 drop by my poster tomorrow at 11am. We can talk all things chikungunya burden, sex and age-dependent disease risk, and potential vaccine impact!
