Abstract: NOVELTY - Method for analyzing sward, involves analyzing a sample of sward for the presence of one or more genetic markers, where the one or more genetic markers indicates the presence, identity and/or relative abundance of one or more spec...

DNA barcoding the native flowering plants and conifers of wales (2012)
Journal Article

We present the first national DNA barcode resource that covers the native flowering plants and conifers for the nation of Wales (1143 species). Using the plant DNA barcode markers rbcL and matK, we have assembled 97.7% coverage for rbcL, 90.2% for ma... Read More about DNA barcoding the native flowering plants and conifers of wales.

Maintaining functional major histocompatibility complex diversity under inbreeding: The case of a selfing vertebrate (2012)
Journal Article

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes encode proteins that present pathogen-derived antigens to T-cells, initiating the adaptive immune response in vertebrates. Although populations with low MHC diversity tend to be more susceptible to pathoge...
