Bit disappointed at the publicly non-partisan stance from the DSU president.

It may not be worth much right now but this campaign still holds true.

Francis Chikuse on Africa PGI mammoth priority pathogens prioritisation process. Process driven through 4 expert groups: Malaria, AMR (chaired by Iruka Okeke), foodborne diseases, vaccine preventable diseases. Priority AMR projects: Neonatal sepsis, invasive salmonella typhi, one health.

Final talk in our harmonizing pathogen data collection from Zetty Jamaluddin (UKM) on hAMRonized (github.com/pha4ge/hAMRo...) AMRfinderplus analysis via Google Colab
zenodo.org/record/6438173 with recent extensions for batch and microreact Viz. Used in Malaysia with global workshop participants!

Patiyan Anderson (MDU-PHL) on AusPathoGen umbrella with data management and Viz via AusTrakka (www.cdgn.org.au/austrakka). Need to optimise data collection to inform surveillance. Core+pathogen specific data driven by end-goal analyses (aiding buy-in and actually having actionable data).

Jillian Paull (Broad) on PHA4GE's wastewater contextual data specification. Making sure investment in WW capacity is not wasted by bad data. Machine readability, interoperability to other specs, reuse of terms from pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35169842/, & input from HIC/LMIC folks across disciplines.

Bryan Wee (Roslin) on contextual data for Uganda One Health AMR digital-one-health.github.io w/ red, yellow, green tags for sensitivity and harmonisation of data from ag, env, & clinic. Multidisciplinary data meeting to inform metadata specification (w/ PHA4GE recs) before pilot E. coli seq project.

Gerald Mboowa (AfricaCDC): 10 genomics centers for excellence coming w/ ACEGID/SANBI/KRISP bioinf support. 2019-2023: only 7 countries with WGS to only 7 without. ONT&Ill diversify the risk of reagent access issues. Federated African Pathogen Data Sharing & Archive to try and solve data challenges.

Abebe Negeri (Ethiopian Public Health Institute) new Pathogen Genomics Core Facility est. 2021, largely SC2 so far but plans for HIV, TB, polio, AMR, IPAC etc. Integration of multiple programs key for sustainability and making most of a core. Need for full time staff and well-defined career paths!

Kim Ng (SSI) on IT challenges scaling infrastructure and new MicrobeSeq initiative
microbeseqen.ssi.dk/about-microb... federating regional and SSI HPC based on IRIDA, microreact, galaxy, nextflow, ansible, git, and PHA4GE/elixir standards/recommendations. Key message: don't reinvent the wheel!

Vincent Rennie and Annelies van Rie on MAGMA Automated mapping of transmission hotspots, treatment recommendations, and phylogenetic cluster selection: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1..., @oschwengers.bsky.social on Bakta's recent updates and gene name harmonisation efforts (github.com/oschwengers/...)
