Human dissemination of genes and microorganisms in Earth's Critical Zone (2017)
Journal Article
Zhu, Y.-G., Gillings, M., Simonet, P., Stekel, D., Banwart, S., & Penuelas, J. (2018). Human dissemination of genes and microorganisms in Earth's Critical Zone. Global Change Biology, 24(4), 1488-1499. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.14003

Earth's Critical Zone sustains terrestrial life and consists of the thin planetary surface layer between unaltered rock and the atmospheric boundary. Within this zone, flows of energy and materials are mediated by physical processes and by the action... Read More about Human dissemination of genes and microorganisms in Earth's Critical Zone.

Reconstructing promoter activity from Lux bioluminescent reporters (2017)
Journal Article
Iqbal, M., Doherty, N., Page, A. M., Qazi, S. N., Ajmera, I., Lund, P. A., Kypraios, T., Scott, D. J., Hill, P. J., & Stekel, D. J. (2017). Reconstructing promoter activity from Lux bioluminescent reporters. PLoS Computational Biology, 13(9), Article e1005731. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005731

The bacterial Lux system is used as a gene expression reporter. It is fast, sensitive and non-destructive, enabling high frequency measurements. Originally developed for bacterial cells, it has also been adapted for eukaryotic cells, and can be used... Read More about Reconstructing promoter activity from Lux bioluminescent reporters.

Metal Resistance and Its Association With Antibiotic Resistance (2017)
Book Chapter
Pal, C., Asiani, K. R., Arya, S., Rensing, C., Stekel, D. J., Larsson, D. J., & Hobman, J. L. (2017). Metal Resistance and Its Association With Antibiotic Resistance. In R. K. Poole (Ed.), Microbiology of metal ions (261-313). Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.ampbs.2017.02.001

Antibiotic resistance is recognised as a major global threat to public health by the World Health Organization. Currently, several hundred thousand deaths yearly can be attributed to infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The major driver for...
