Analysis of HIV-1 and foraminiferal molecular evolution (1997)
Thesis

This thesis presents work examining aspects of both HIV- 1 and foraminiferal evolution. The thesis is set out accordingly into two sections, each of which contains an introduction with individual chapters presented as a series of papers. In section...

The molecular epidemiology of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in six cities in Britain and Ireland (1997)
Journal Article

We have sequenced the p17 coding regions of the gag gene from 211 patients infected either through injecting drug use (IDU) or by sexual intercourse between men from six cities in Scotland, N. England, N. Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. All seq... Read More about The molecular epidemiology of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in six cities in Britain and Ireland.

Evolution of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in perinatally infected infants with rapid and slow progression to disease (1997)
Journal Article

We addressed the relationship between the origin and evolution of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) variants and disease outcome in perinatally infected infants by studying the V3 regions of viral variants in samples obtained from five tran...

Planktic foraminiferal molecular evolution and their polyphyletic origins from benthic taxa (1997)
Journal Article

Phylogenetic analyses based on partial sequences of the small subunit (SSU) ribosomal (r) RNA gene have shown that the planktic and benthic foraminifera form a distinct monophyletic group within the eukaryotes. In order to determine the evolutionary... Read More about Planktic foraminiferal molecular evolution and their polyphyletic origins from benthic taxa.

Reading the history of the oceans in plankton DNA (1996)
Journal Article

Early evolutionary origin of the planktic foraminifera inferred from small subunit rDNA sequence comparisons (1996)
Journal Article

Phylogenetic analysis of five partial planktic foraminiferal small subunit (SSU) ribosomal (r) DNA sequences with representatives of a diverse range of eukaryote, archaebacterial, and eubacterial taxa has revealed that the evolutionary origin of the... Read More about Early evolutionary origin of the planktic foraminifera inferred from small subunit rDNA sequence comparisons.

Molecular phylogeny of the planktic foraminifera (1996)
Journal Article

Planktic foraminifers are an important group of marine Zooplankton whose fossil record has been used extensively to reconstruct past climatic and oceanographic changes. Knowledge of the molecular phylogenetics of the planktic foraminifera will allow... Read More about Molecular phylogeny of the planktic foraminifera.

Protecting HIV databases (1995)
Journal Article

We fully agree with Korber et al. concerning the importance of the issue of sample contamination. We had, in fact, carried out a more detailed analysis than theirs which was indeed considered as part of the review process of our paper. Sample timing... Read More about Protecting HIV databases.

Analysis of envelope sequence variants suggests multiple mechanisms of mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (1995)
Journal Article

In order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) mother-to-child transmission, we have analyzed the genetic variation within the V3 hypervariable domain and flanking regions of the HIV-1 envelope...
