Comparative phylogeography and recombination patterns of SARS CoV-1 and SARS CoV-2 related viruses. Both are derived from recent recombinations in their host bats, and then emerged in human hundreds of miles from their wild reservoirs.

The recency and geographical origins of the bat viruses ancestral to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2
Recombination-aware evolutionary analyses of the entire genomes of SARS-CoV-1-like and SARS-CoV-2-like viruses indicate that SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 descend from bat coronaviruses that circulated as...

I’m thrilled to share our latest preprint! We analyzed >130,000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from MA to investigate complex transmission dynamics—from statewide patterns, within specific facilities, and at the individual level 🦠🧬

Geospatial and demographic patterns of SARS-CoV-2 spread in Massachusetts from over 130,000 genomes
Despite intensive study, gaps remain in our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 transmission patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic, in part due to limited contextual metadata accompanying most large genomic s...

Why an overreliance on AI-driven modelling can be bad for science.

Some good thoughts in here about the distinction between engineering and the natural sciences.

Why an overreliance on AI-driven modelling is bad for science
Without clear protocols to catch errors, artificial intelligence’s growing role in science could do more harm than good.
