Happy to share our new AMR resource which has phenotypic AMR (usually MIC data) collected from publications and databases. This is paired with assemblies and annotations
We're excited for users who might train new models, find phenotype/genotype mismatches, or any other use

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing health threat, making infections harder to treat and complicating routine medical care.
EMBL-EBI’s new AMR portal brings together laboratory resistance data and bacterial genomes in one open platform.

Is there only one "path" that evolution tends to take when a new trait arises? Or can the trait arise in more than one way? In other words, walking back from a particular evolutionary "destination", do we always take the same path? The answer might be "no", at least some of the time. In fact... 1/n

New preprint from the group: @lucydillon.bsky.social analysis of 16,000+ genomes finds Bacteria cannot combine certain resistance genes as they are mutually exclusive, forcing them down incompatible evolutionary paths.

Genomic constraints shape the evolution of alternative routes to drug resistance in prokaryotes.
Background: Variation within the prokaryotic pangenome is not random, and natural selection that favours particular combinations of genes appears to dominate over random drift. What is less clear is w...

Excited to be attending VIBE conference this year! I will be presenting a poster on Friday using pangenomics and ML to investigate multidrug-resistance 🧬🧫👩🏼💻
For anyone attending VIBE/ICBG conference 2024 this week in Galway, keep an eye out for some Creevey Lab members, including talks by Emmet Campbell and John-Paul Wilkins and posters by @lucydillon.bsky.social and Corey Woods.
