Our discovery of novel viruses in invasive camelids in Australia leads us to propose a simple idea: RNA viruses may repeatedly evolve functional modules at the 5β² end of their genomes.

Don't mind me just finishing off my #GSBC2026 talk <2 hours before I'm presenting π
Come check out today's ECR Showcase if you wanna hear all about my groovy collection of soil RNA viruses!
Been a pleasure to work with you all! Can't wait for next year π€©β€οΈ

So excited to hear from Jackie tomorrow! π€©
(Don't tell the others but I specifically gave myself no responsibilities for Jackie's session so I can listen with full attention π)
MicroSeq starts tomorrow! MicroSeq2025 is an online meeting being held on September 3rd and 4th, focused on research being conducted on sequencing data generated from microbiological samples (bacteria, fungi, and viruses). MicroSeq2025 is supported by The Australian Society for Microbiology, the Australasian Virology Society, and Microbial Genomics. Registration open until 11:59pm, September 2nd, 2025. Participants can register at microseqconference.com.

Get those abstracts in! Stoked for this year's lineup already π€©
Soil is home to nearly 60% of all species and stores vast amounts of carbon.
Yet, itβs being lost faster than ever.
Why and what can be done?

Hey that's me!
Glad to be here π Can't wait for September! I shouldn't spill too much... but I'm getting really excited about the #MicroSeq2025 lineup so far!
Our study on SARS-CoV-2 dynamics and long COVID in Nepal has made it to preprint π Huge thanks everyone from BNMT, Center for Molecular Dynamics Nepal (CMDN), and the Centre for Pathogen Genomics at The Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity πππ

I highly recommend volunteering to chair a session at #MicroSeq2025, especially if you've never done it before. Super low stakes, chill environment with lots of support from the committee. Great place to learn this pretty valuable skill!
#MicroSeq2025 has many opportunities for medium and lightning talks. Submit your abstract by August 8 and take advantage of this valuable opportunity to present your work to a welcoming community of fellow ECRs and PhD students! π
