My group has a fully funded #phdscholarship (Worldwide, University of Liverpool PhD programme) working with me on cancer evolution at Suzhou (XJTLU). The project will look at cancer genomic/clinical data by extending an existing evolutionary framework (DOI:10.1098/rsob.190297) 1

We have a multidisciplinary supervisory team to help: Dr. Jason Parsons (Cancer clinical scientist), Dr. Pascal Grange (Mathematician/Theoretical physicist), Dr. Jia Meng (Bioinformatician). Please PM me for more details. 2

@blJOg

We finally have a full analysis on an economic/ecological perspective on the natural origin of #SARS_CoV_2 right before Dec 2019. With agricultural economist Wei Xia, @blJOg @robertson_lab To share it early we put it as a preprint: preprints.org/manuscript/202… 1/n

The spillover of a virus from one host species to another requires both molecular and ecological risk factors to align. 2/n

While extensive research both before and after the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in 2019 implicates horseshoe bat as the significant reservoir genus for the new coronavirus, it remains unclear why it emerged at this time. 3/n

@robertson_lab

We are sharing our initial analysis of the new #Wuhan #coronavirus (with @robertson_lab): #nCoV’s relationship to bat coronaviruses & recombination signals. Full analysis is here on virological: virological.org/t/ncovs-relati… @MackayIM @FluTrackers @HelenBranswell @Laurie_Garrett

@robertson_lab

@robertson_lab @MackayIM @FluTrackers @HelenBranswell @Laurie_Garrett Focus of our analysis is on the Wuhan-Hu-1 virus (accession no. MN908947, released on GenBank by Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center and School of Public Health, Fudan University, Shanghai, China) as all nCoV cluster together so will share the same evolutionary ancestry. 1/n

@robertson_lab

@robertson_lab @MackayIM @FluTrackers @HelenBranswell @Laurie_Garrett It’s clear from phylogenetic analysis the new human virus is most closely related to bat coronaviruses in the Betacoronaviruses genera. 2/n
