Ubiquitin modifications of target proteins act to localise, direct and specify a diverse range of cellular processes, many of which are biomedically relevant. To allow this diversity, ubiquitin modifications exhibit remarkable complexity, determined...

Cell type–specific super-resolution imaging reveals an increase in calcium-permeable AMPA receptors at spinal peptidergic terminals as an anatomical correlate of inflammatory pain (2019)
Journal Article
Woodhams, S. G., Markus, R., Gowler, P. R., Self, T. J., & Chapman, V. (2019). Cell type–specific super-resolution imaging reveals an increase in calcium-permeable AMPA receptors at spinal peptidergic terminals as an anatomical correlate of inflammatory pain. PAIN, 160(11), 2641-2650. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001672

Spinal hyperexcitability is a key event in the development of persistent pain, and arises partly from alterations in the number and localization of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors. However, determinin...

Coinfinder: Detecting Significant Associations and Dissociations in Pangenomes (2019)
Working Paper
Whelan, F. J., Rusilowicz, M., & McInerney, J. O. Coinfinder: Detecting Significant Associations and Dissociations in Pangenomes

The accessory genes of prokaryote and eukaryote pangenomes accumulate by horizontal gene transfer, differential gene loss, and the effects of selection and drift. We have developed Coinfinder, a software program that assesses whether sets of homologo... Read More about Coinfinder: Detecting Significant Associations and Dissociations in Pangenomes.
