A thread focusing on a mutation in Omicron that looks promising as a potential indicator of trace Omicron presence in wastewater: N:DEL31/33. Let's dig in!

Earlier in the week, traces of Omicron were detected in Houston wastewater, highlighted here: khou.com/article/news/h…

1/18 Alongside @lauren_stadler @ensorkb @EstherGeLou2, & scientists from @HoustonHealth, my student @SapovalNicolae developed a method for identifying 'quasi-unique' mutations to be used for detecting traces of SARS-CoV-2, & specifically Variants of Concern (VOCs), in wastewater

Just in time for Thanksgiving, @Covirt19, an international COVID-19 research team that I'm fortunate to co-lead (cov-irt.org) along w/ @AfshinBeheshti , just launched a COVID-19 Exposure Assessment Tool. Download the interactive PDF here --> cov-irt.org/exposure-asses…. This simple-to-use nomogram allows users to estimate a group-wide relative exposure to SARS-CoV-2 associated with various activities. The tool facilitates understanding of the importance of factors that contribute to increased SARS-CoV-2 exposure and risk of infection.
