Our new paper @JExpMed - Nasal viruses & bacteria are very common in children (90% of symptomatic and ~50% of asymptomatic <5yrs!), and activate nasal defenses, which may have protected from #Covid_19 @YaleMed @Yale_LabMed @YaleIBIO @YalePediatrics

I always say jobs in my lab are great opportunities but this one really is. The last incumbent published 3 1st-author @Nature papers, found a treatment for Covid, and now has a senior job in pharma.
Quantitative geneticists - please consider joining us!

🔔'Tis the season...to apply for a new job?! My group @MedCambridge is recruiting for 2 posts:
Postdoc: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/44181/
Research assistant: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/44250/
Both roles will seek to improve our understanding of coronavirus cross-species transmission. #preparedness

A lovely piece of work that places interferon-mediated antiviral immunity to betacoronaviruses into evolutionary & ecological context.
🚨New paper alert! and it's one I'm really excited for! Resurrection of OAS1 from the ancestor of modern horseshoe bats blocks SARS-CoV-2 replication now out in @PLOSBiology
Here's a 🧵on how we reconstructed an ancient 🦇anti-CoV protein

Really interesting thread and paper about an anti-coronavirus gene in humans that bats lost millions of years ago, which could help explain why bats are such prodigious reservoirs of coronaviruses, posing a constant threat of spillover into humans.

One thing the pandemic forever changed for me was my perspective on sharing biomaterials (tools and reagents) from publications. I’ve written about this, with co-author Alexander Harms (@AHarms485), in our new PLOS Biology perspective:
Could better biomaterial sharing improve the scientific community?
@Lab_Rihn_th & @AHarms485 draw on their experiences of sharing #biomaterials to discuss the advantages, challenges, and ways sharing could be more actively promoted and rewarded.

ALT A summary of the benefits and challenges associated with biomaterial sharing. Challenges include administrative burden, time, effort, cost, misuse/misrepresentation, and ethical/intellectual property considerations. Benefits include new ideas/collaborations, improved reproducibility, equity and community, savings in time, money and resources, and maintaining access to materials.

Cells add mono-ADP-ribose (MAR) to proteins at sites of infection. Rubella, alpha & coronaviruses fight back with deMARylases. In a new preprint we show the rubella macro domain is a deMARylase & report its structure, which could be used for drug design. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I promised some thoughts on avian H5s based on our recent results and I've decided to link these up to the current H5N1 cat outbreak in Poland. Long story short, oneoff cat to human infections should be a worry, but onward h2h transmission is unlikely with the current situation.

ah! forgot to mention that I've also made an interactive @observablehq notebook where you can explore all NP sites by host or lineage, download metadata and figtree annotations associated with our study! observablehq.com/@cvr-bioinf…
