Testing the FMR1 promoter for mosaicism in DNA methylation among CpG sites, strands, and cells in FMR1-expressing males with fragile X syndrome. PLoS ONE, 6(8), Article e23648. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0023648

Variability among individuals in the severity of fragile X syndrome (FXS) is influenced by epigenetic methylation mosaicism, which may also be common in other complex disorders. The epigenetic signal of dense promoter DNA methylation is usually assoc...

Maize grain and soil surveys reveal suboptimal dietary selenium intake is widespread in Malawi (2011)
Journal Article
Chilimba, A. D. C., Young, S. D., Black, C. R., Rogerson, K. B., Ander, E. L., Watts, M. J., …Broadley, M. R. (2011). Maize grain and soil surveys reveal suboptimal dietary selenium intake is widespread in Malawi. Scientific Reports, 1(72), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep00072

Selenium is an essential element in human diets but the risk of suboptimal intake increases where food choices are narrow. Here we show that suboptimal dietary intake (i.e. 20–30 mg Se person21 d21) is widespread in Malawi, based on a spatial integra...

Setting the stage – Building and working in an ancient DNA laboratory (2011)
Journal Article
Knapp, M., Clarke, A. C., Horsburgh, K. A., & Matisoo-Smith, E. A. (2012). Setting the stage – Building and working in an ancient DNA laboratory. Annals of Anatomy, 194(1), 3-6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aanat.2011.03.008

With the introduction of next generation high throughput sequencing in 2005 and the resulting revolution in genetics, ancient DNA research has rapidly developed from an interesting but marginal field within evolutionary biology into one that can cont...
