@pathogenomenick Thanks for those! I had my library order this book sciencedirect.com/science/book/9… but it won't be available for a few weeks 7:52 AM May 29th via web in reply to pathogenomenick
@pathogenomenick e.g. like the PLoS and PNAS papers on last year's e. coli outbreak, etc, but with more of a biodefense/attribution focus 7:15 AM May 29th via web
@pathogenomenick i've been meaning to ask you - any good papers on bioinfo methods for pathogen identification and biodefense applications? 7:13 AM May 29th via web
