MT @stevediggle: Anyone fancy writing a grant to dig up BD permafrost bodies? Can we revive BD? Then we will all know for sure! #microtwjc 1:19 PM May 22nd via TweetChat

RT @Bacterioskeptic hopeful lots of pathogens could be recovered. Borrelia assembled from ice man's genome! bit.ly/zghAk6 #microtwjc 1:15 PM May 22nd via web
Keep an eye out for the transcript - should be up some time tomorrow #microtwjc 1:12 PM May 22nd via TweetChat
@mackas21 It's alright for those up north! No sun left down here in Bristol! 1:11 PM May 22nd via web in reply to mackas21
@mackas21 Yup.&presumably not just cost issue but also problem w/such small amount of sample-can't just go on fishing expedition! #microtwjc 1:10 PM May 22nd via TweetChat in reply to mackas21
Interesting paper. Wd love to know what other pathogens could be detected in those teeth tho (prob impractical I know) #microtwjc 1:07 PM May 22nd via TweetChat
RT @wragbags: #microtwjc nice paper though and can see why it led to a good debate when it came out and here this evening #microtwjc 1:03 PM May 22nd via TweetChat
AgreeRT @mackas21:Issues with capture array omitting genetic material+issues of ancient DNA degradation prevent conclusive answer #microtwjc 1:03 PM May 22nd via TweetChat
RT @stevediggle: interesting that despite 300 years of the plague, western Europe is left with no natural foci of plague rodents #microtwjc 12:56 PM May 22nd via TweetChat
@wragbags true #microtwjc 12:50 PM May 22nd via TweetChat in reply to wragbags
@Bacterioskeptic you would think some rats might have ventured into the pits for an easy meal... :S #microtwjc 12:47 PM May 22nd via TweetChat in reply to Bacterioskeptic
@wragbags There is some work using H. pylori sequences to track movement of people (focusing on host rather than pathogen) #microtwjc 12:43 PM May 22nd via TweetChat in reply to wragbags
