Reported the RdRp Summit 2025 on Experimental Medicine magazine (in Japanese). Seeing my name on a book sold on Amazon is an incredible feeling! ✨ amzn.asia/d/00tKPNE

New pre-print out \o/ All about CRISPR, metagenomes, and what you learn when you collect (a lot of) spacers from natural communities, with @apcamargo.bsky.social @urineri.bsky.social @lhug.bsky.social but also Uri Gophna, Nikhil George (not on Bsky I think) & others at JGI doi.org/10.1101/2025...

I'm thinking of organising a meeting on endogenous viral elements (RNA, DNA and retroviral) - if you'd potentially be interested, please fill out the form here - forms.gle/wrCiWMw4yXZe... - so I can gauge interest. Please RT or share with anyone maybe interested! 🧪🧬🖥️🦠 #virology #bioinformatics

Tried PyMOL for the first time today, and thanks to ChatGPT, I could do exactly what I wanted. While there’s a trend in bioinformatics toward developing GUIs to make tools more accessible, I wonder if, in the era of AI, command-line tools might actually get you to the result faster 🤔

Thanks again for the organization and invitation, and also thanks for the food, for the help and everything!! Definitely amazing to be in Lisbon to share our work!!!

I cannot say anything what F stands for. I'm thrilled to present BFVD at RdRp summit, finally found right place. Thank you for organizers for inviting to this awesome meeting and city. I would appreciate any feedback and feel free to discuss in-person or cia message. Explore BFVD🧭

Introducing our invited speaker for the session on 'Viral Dark Matter' we have Rachel Seongeun Kim from the Seoul National University!!!! The registrations for on-site & remote participation are still open! More info: RdRp.io #RdRpSummit2025

The previous RdRp summit manifested in the consensus statement. What the second @rdrpsummit.bsky.social brings us?:)

I’m in charge of IT for #RdRpSummit2025 and will coordinate the YouTube Live streaming. I’m preparing engaging features like dynamic camera work, seamless scene transitions and incorporating remote participant’s comments into the Q&A sessions!

The abstract submission & registration for #RdRpSummit2025 is NOW OPEN!!! 🎉🙌 Do you work on RNA virus discovery using RdRps? Are you joining the #ViBioM2025 in Portugal? Consider submitting your research in one of our sessions! More info: RdRp.io

We're looking for suggestions on how to update and adapt the Minimum Information about an Uncultured Viral Genome (MIUVIG) reporting standard. What works? What needs updating? Check out the survey forms.gle/DPHvMFe8Gsdj... 🧵

SAVE THE DATES & plan your trip to Lisbon (for #RdRpSummit2025 & #EVBC #ViBioM) this summer accordingly! Information on registration and abstract submissions coming very very soon! 🚄✈️✨🇵🇹🌊🌉

RdRp Summit 2025 will take place on May 11-12, 2025, in Lisbon, Portugal! 🏛️✨ More details coming soon, but for now, mark your calendars! Currently working on the official logo 🎨✍️ @rdrpsummit.bsky.social #RdRpSummit2025 #Procreate

I made a quick Starter Pack for scientists working on virus discovery - please reply if you’d like me to add you to the pack (or remove you) or to recommend anyone! #scisky go.bsky.app/HK1wxRb

We just published a consensus statement (with 47 institutes) on advancing #RdRp-based RNA virus discovery! We sum up the challenges identified at the 1st #RdRpSummit and propose solutions to ensure greater interoperability. Here’s a summary- t.ly/Uwqge

NeoRdRp2, our HMM profile for detecting RNA viruses, has been updated on GitHub! 🦠🔬 A paper detailing the improvements will be published shortly. Check out the latest version here: github.com/shoichisakag... #RNAviruses #bioinformatics
