Journal Article
Nantarat, N., WADE, C., Jeratthitikul, E., Sutcharit, C., & Panha, S. (2014). Molecular Evidence for Cryptic Speciation in the Cyclophorus fulguratus (Pfeiffer, 1854) Species Complex (Caenogastropoda: Cyclophoridae) with Description of New Species. PLoS ONE, 9(10), Article e109785. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0109785

A high degree of intraspecific variation, both genetic and in shell morphology, of the operculate land snail Cyclophorus fulguratus (Pfeiffer, 1854) suggests that its classification as a single species warrants reconsideration. We sequenced two nucle...

Identification of Angiostrongylus cantonensis and other nematodes using the SSU rDNA in Achatina fulica populations of Metro Manila (2014)
Journal Article
Constantino-Santos, D. M., Basiao, Z. U., Wade, C. M., Santos, B. S., & Fontanilla, I. K. (2014). Identification of Angiostrongylus cantonensis and other nematodes using the SSU rDNA in Achatina fulica populations of Metro Manila. Tropical Biomedicine, 31(2), 327-335

Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a parasitic nematode that causes eosinophilic meningitis in humans. Accidental infection occurs by consumption of contaminated intermediates, such as the giant African land snail, Achatina fulica. This study surveyed th...

Extracting DNA from within intact foraminiferal shells (2014)
Journal Article
Seears, H. A., & Wade, C. M. (2014). Extracting DNA from within intact foraminiferal shells. Marine Micropaleontology, 109, 46-53. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marmicro.2014.04.001

Here we present an evaluation of several methods for extracting DNA from within intact foraminiferal shells. We tested 12 lysis buffers under carefully optimised incubation conditions, evaluating their success in terms of efficiency in evacuating cel...

Background:
Genetic studies of the Foraminifera provide valuable insights into marine speciation and biogeography, yet the discovery of vitally needed new genetic markers for this important group is being severely limited by an extreme lack of genet...
