E., Whyte, D., Ballesteros, M., Bhanbhro, S., Borota, S., Brennan, M. L., Carmen, E., Conway, E. A., Everett, R., Armstrong-Gibbs, F., Jensen, E., …Stroobant, M. (2024). Reimagining the language of engagement in a post-stakeholder world. Sustainability Science, 19(4), 1481-1490. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-024-01496-4

Language matters in shaping perceptions and guiding behaviour. The term stakeholder is widely used, yet little attention is paid to the possibility that its use may inadvertently perpetuate colonial narratives and reinforce systemic inequities. In th...

Cardiovascular Fitness and Stride Acceleration in Race-Pace Workouts for the Prediction of Performance in Thoroughbreds (2024)
Journal Article
Schrurs, C., Dubois, G., Van Erck-Westergren, E., & Gardner, D. S. (2024). Cardiovascular Fitness and Stride Acceleration in Race-Pace Workouts for the Prediction of Performance in Thoroughbreds. Animals, 14(9), Article 1342. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani14091342

In-training racehorse physiological data can be leveraged to further explore race-day performance prediction. To date, no large retrospective, observational study has analysed whether in-training speed and heart rate recovery can predict racehorse su...

J., Stein, N., Mascher, M., Tuberosa, R., O'Connor, D., Bennett, M. J., Bishopp, A., Salvi, S., & Bhosale, R. (2024). The auxin efflux carrier PIN1a regulates vascular patterning in cereal roots. New Phytologist, 244(1), 104-115. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.19777

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is an important global cereal crop and a model in genetic studies. Despite advances in characterising barley genomic resources, few mutant studies have identified genes controlling root architecture and anatomy, which plays a...

The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Allergic Sensitization: A Systematic Review (2024)
Journal Article
Tucis, D., Hopkins, G., Browne, W., James, V., Onion, D., & Fairclough, L. C. (2024). The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Allergic Sensitization: A Systematic Review. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 25(8), Article 4492. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms25084492

Allergies affect approximately 10–30% of people worldwide, with an increasing number of cases each year; however, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been suggested to play a role... Read More about The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Allergic Sensitization: A Systematic Review.

Quantification of play behaviour in farmed calves using automated ultra-wide band location data and its association with age, weaning and health status (2024)
Journal Article
Vázquez-Diosdado, J., Doidge, C., Bushby, E., Occhiuto, F., & Kaler, J. (2024). Quantification of play behaviour in farmed calves using automated ultra-wide band location data and its association with age, weaning and health status. Scientific Reports, 14, Article 8872. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-59142-z

Play behaviour can act as an indicator of positive animal welfare. Previous attempts to predict play behaviour in farmed calves are limited because of the classification methods used, which lead to overestimation, and the short time periods that calv...

PIMMS-Dash: Accessible analysis, interrogation, and visualisation of high-throughput transposon insertion sequencing (TIS) data (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Blanchard, A. M., Taylor, A., Warry, A., Shephard, F., Curwen, A., Leigh, J. A., Emes, R. D., & Egan, S. A. (2024). PIMMS-Dash: Accessible analysis, interrogation, and visualisation of high-throughput transposon insertion sequencing (TIS) data

Motivation Current methods for visualising and interrogating high-throughput transposon insertion mutagenesis sequencing (TIS) data requires a significant time investment in learning bioinformatics, often producing static figures that do not facilita...

Identifying veterinary surgeons’ barriers to, and potential solutions for, improving antimicrobial stewardship among sheep farmers in Northern Ireland. Veterinary Record Open, 11(1), Article e278. https://doi.org/10.1002/vro2.78

Background: In order to improve antimicrobial stewardship (AMS), including changes in antimicrobial prescribing and use, an enhanced understanding is needed of the barriers that veterinary surgeons (vets) encounter to institute such change. Methods:... Read More about Identifying veterinary surgeons’ barriers to, and potential solutions for, improving antimicrobial stewardship among sheep farmers in Northern Ireland.
