Ok, someone had to do it. Pedro Pascal as bats. A thread.

Coisas não ditas ao se trabalhar com bioinformatica: Tenha um espaço absurdo de armazenamento. Uma análise de 2 semanas gerou 300Gb de dados 🙃

First Day at VEME 2024 Thrilled to be here! #VEME2024 #28VEME #VirusEvolution #CLIMADE #CERITraining #FiocruzBrasilia

Midweek check-in at #VEME2024! Halfway through this exceptional workshop, my mind is buzzing with new ideas and insights. Grateful for the chance to be a part of this transformative workshop and for the amazing classes and lectures!

Inspired by the collaborative spirit at #VEME2024. Discussing innovative approaches to understanding virus evolution is incredibly enlightening. Kudos to @Fiocruz for hosting such an enriching event! #VEME2024 #28VEME #VirusEvolution #CLIMADE #CERITraining

PenguiN, our viral metagenomics assembler, just got accepted at BMC Microbiome! In contrast to the standard de Bruijn graphs assemblers, it uses all-vs-all alignment in linear time to merge reads. This allows it to often resolve severalfold more strains than dBG assemblers.

Hello everyone, Check out our article published in the Viruses Journal about new viruses found in mosquitoes: mdpi.com/1999-4915/16/8…

I was asked yesterday by big media if we should be surprised by novel epidemics (H5N1, Mpox, COVID-19, Lassa, MERS, Dengue, Oropouche, etc). My answer was that we should be surprised by not expecting diseases to emerge when we destroy the environment. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Thank you to all the amazing professors and organizers of the Viral Evolution and Molecular Epidemiology course at Fiocruz Brasília. The knowledge and experience gained have been invaluable. Grateful for this opportunity! #VEME2024 #28VEME #VirusEvolution #CLIMADE #CERITraining
