    Forum functions may break temporarily...combating spam.

    In an effort to reduce the likelihood of more private messaging spam, I am making some changes to the usergroups. Disabling private messaging for new users with < X posts will hopefully prevent all but the most diligent spammer.

    If some forum functions don't seem to work, or you get a "permission denied" error, that's me messing with things behind the scenes. Shouldn't take long.

    OK, I'm apparently done. New users will now not have PM permissions until they post a small number of posts. If you desperately need to send a PM, post in the Introductions forum.

    This now gives us three layers of spam protection:

    1. New users (ip, username, email addy) screened against a known spammer blacklist.

    2. First XX posts for new users are screened very stringently for spam/links/etc, by Akismet.

    3. Users with less than X posts cannot use PM system.

    Hopefully this helps, and apologies if you get caught in the crossfire, just email admin@ and I will take care of it ASAP.

      Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
      by seqadmin




      The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...
