Genetical and comparative genomics of Brassica under altered Ca supply identifies Arabidopsis Ca-transporter orthologs (2014)
Journal Article
Graham, N. S., Hammond, J. P., Lysenko, A., Mayes, S., Ó Lochlainn, S., Blasco, B., …Broadley, M. R. (in press). Genetical and comparative genomics of Brassica under altered Ca supply identifies Arabidopsis Ca-transporter orthologs. Plant Cell, 26(7),

Although Ca transport in plants is highly complex, the overexpression of vacuolar Ca2+ transporters in crops is a promising new technology to improve dietary Ca supplies through biofortification. Here, we sought to identify novel targets for increasi... Read More about Genetical and comparative genomics of Brassica under altered Ca supply identifies Arabidopsis Ca-transporter orthologs.

Development of microsatellite markers and detection of genetic variation between Goniozus wasp populations (2014)
Journal Article
Khidr, S. K., Hardy, I. C., Zaviezo, T., & Mayes, S. (2014). Development of microsatellite markers and detection of genetic variation between Goniozus wasp populations. Journal of Insect Science, 14(43), https://doi.org/10.1673/031.014.43

Molecular genetic markers reveal differences between genotypes according to the presence of alleles (the same or different) at target loci. Microsatellite markers are especially useful codominant markers that have been used in a wide range of studies...

Pigeons: a novel GUI software for analysing and parsing high density heterologous oligonucleotide microarray probe level data (2014)
Journal Article
Lai, H.-M., May, S., & Mayes, S. (2014). Pigeons: a novel GUI software for analysing and parsing high density heterologous oligonucleotide microarray probe level data. Microarrays, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.3390/microarrays3010001

Genomic DNA-based probe selection by using high density oligonucleotide arrays has recently been applied to heterologous species (Xspecies). With the advent of this new approach, researchers are able to study the genome and transcriptome of a non-mod...
