Journal Article
Sarker, N., Fabijan, J., Seddon, J., Tarlinton, R., Owen, H., Simmons, G., …Meers, J. (2019). Genetic diversity of Koala retrovirus env gene subtypes: insights into northern and southern koala populations. Journal of General Virology, 100(9), 1328-1339. https://doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.001304

Koala retrovirus (KoRV) is a recently endogenised retrovirus associated with neoplasia and immunosuppression in koala populations. The virus is known to display sequence variability and to be present at varying prevalence in different populations, wi...

Molecular variability of Streptococcus uberis isolates from intramammary infections in Canadian dairy farms from the Maritime region (2019)
Journal Article
Reyes, J., Rodriguez-Lecompte, J. C., Blanchard, A., McClure, J., & Sánchez, J. (2019). Molecular variability of Streptococcus uberis isolates from intramammary infections in Canadian dairy farms from the Maritime region. Canadian Journal of Veterinary Research, 83(3), 168-176

The primary objective of this study was to explore the variability of Streptococcus uberis (S. uberis) isolates by extracting multilocus sequence typing (MLST) data from whole-genome sequencing. The secondary objective was to determine the distributi...

DirtyGenes: testing for significant changes in gene or bacterial population compositions from a small number of samples (2019)
Journal Article
Shaw, L. M., Blanchard, A., Chen, Q., An, X., Davies, P., Totemeyer, S., …Stekel, D. J. (2019). DirtyGenes: testing for significant changes in gene or bacterial population compositions from a small number of samples. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 2373. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-38873-4

High throughput genomics technologies are applied widely to microbiomes in humans, animals, soil and water, to detect changes in bacterial communities or the genes they carry, between different environments or treatments. We describe a method to test... Read More about DirtyGenes: testing for significant changes in gene or bacterial population compositions from a small number of samples.
