The Caliciviridae family, comprising positive-sense RNA viruses, is characterised by its non-enveloped, small virions, broad host range, and notable tendency for host switching. These viruses are primarily associated with gastroenteric disease, thoug... Read More about Multiple novel caliciviruses identified from stoats (Mustela erminea) in the United Kingdom.

Vivaldi: An amplicon-based whole genome sequencing method for the four seasonal human coronaviruses 229E, NL63, OC43 & HKU1, alongside SARS-CoV-2 (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
McClure, C. P., Tsoleridis, T., Holmes, N., Chappell, J. G., Byaruhanga, T., Duncan, J., Tofan, M., Khater, A., Berry, L., Clark, G., Irving, W. L., Tarr, A. W., Ball, J. K., Astbury, S., & Loose, M. Vivaldi: An amplicon-based whole genome sequencing method for the four seasonal human coronaviruses 229E, NL63, OC43 & HKU1, alongside SARS-CoV-2

Prior to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in 2019, Alphacoronaviruses 229E and NL63 and Betacoronaviruses OC43 and HKU1 were already established endemic ‘common cold’ viral infections. Despite their collective contribution towards global respiratory morbi...

A single-cell atlas of pig gastrulation as a resource for comparative embryology (2024)
Journal Article
Simpson, L., Strange, A., Klisch, D., Kraunsoe, S., Azami, T., Goszczynski, D., …Alberio, R. (2024). A single-cell atlas of pig gastrulation as a resource for comparative embryology. Nature Communications, 15(1), Article 5210. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-49407-6

Cell-fate decisions during mammalian gastrulation are poorly understood outside of rodent embryos. The embryonic disc of pig embryos mirrors humans, making them a useful proxy for studying gastrulation. Here we present a single-cell transcriptomic at...
