Sequencing of high yield influenza reassortants at JCVI
As part of the Influenza Genome Sequencing Project, JCVI will be sequencing a large number of high yield influenza reassortants created in the lab of Dr. Doris Bucher at New York Medical College. Dr. Bucher’s lab has prepared the type A H3N2 high yield reassortants (hyrs) for the...
What Happened to Sorcerer II?!?!
The last time I wrote a Sorcerer II blog was in November when we set sail from Spain to cross the Atlantic Ocean. For all of you that have been worried that we have been at sea for 8 months, relax we made it!! Over the next few days I will update everyone on what has happened and the upcoming...

Summit on Systems Biology, June 15-17, 2011
I attended the Summit on Systems Biology hosted by Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA June 15-17. So, judging from the talks given, what is systems biology? Systems biology is non-linear and/or multi-step. Heavy math does not make something systems biology if...
Insights gained from influenza genomic sequence data: viral diversity within human populations
The advent of large amounts of influenza genomic sequence data produced by the Influenza Genome Sequencing Project (IGSP) has led to new concepts regarding influenza viral diversity. It was previously believed that a single influenza lineage entered a human population at the start of an...
