"Persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections may act as viral reservoirs that could seed future outbreaks, give rise to highly divergent lineages, and contribute to cases with post-acute COVID-19 sequelae (long COVID)"

"The Alpha and Gamma variants of the coronavirus continued to circulate and evolve in white-tailed deer, even after they stopped spreading widely among people, a new study suggests.

Whether the variants are still circulating in deer remains unknown."

Rather than having evolved in an immunocompromised person in South Africa as suspected, Omicron seems to have evolved in steps while circulating in West Africa during summer 2021 before exploding across the south that autumn.

Trying out TAXONIUM, a new tool for exploring phylogenetic trees from @theosanderson at https://taxonium.org/

Testing it here to upload and visualize my own tree of 6264 HPVs.

Quick and smooth, easy to search, no glitches when zooming. I'll being using this from now on.

Looking for a good #virusevolution conference in 2023?
I'd recommend the 30th Dynamics & #Evolution of Human #Viruses 2023 Live Meeting in Heidelberg.

Hi, this is @mghafari. I am a #postdoc in #virusevolution and #infectiousdiseases at Big Data Institute and Department of Biology, University of Oxford. I work on virus evolution, and am particularly interested in understanding the within- and between-host evolution of viruses such as #SARSCOV2 and #HIV.

Want to do a postdoc on #paleovirology? Interested in long term patterns of #VirusEvolution or cross-species transmission, using #bioinformatics & #phylogenetics to address questions in the #biology of #VirusHost interactions? Apply to do a postdoc in my group here. And get in touch at [email protected] for informal discussion.

#Introduction: I'm a Research Fellow at NCI/NIH and AMNH studying #VirusEvolution.

My main project investigates #HPV and #CervicalCancer.

Other scientific interests include #MolecularEvolution, #PopulationGenetics, #mutation, #SARSCoV2, #OverlappingGenes, and #bioinformatics methods.

When I'm not coding I'm #weightlifting, #reading, #singing, or drinking #coffee.

So excited to be part of this community!

@oblomov Ah thanks, ok! Looking for #virusevolution people to follow!
