Changes to virus taxonomy and the ICTV Statutes ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (2024) (2024)
Journal Article

This article reports changes to virus taxonomy and taxon nomenclature that were approved and ratified by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) in April 2024. The entire ICTV membership was invited to vote on 203 taxonomic proposal...

The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline (2023)
Thesis

Cases of the current episode of Acute Oak Decline (AOD) were first described in the UK in 2008 on native British oaks, but currently this disease is seen to affect most species of oak on a global scale. The disease has become a focus of forest resear... Read More about The taxonomic and genomic investigation of soil microorganisms associated with Acute Oak Decline.

Diversity and inclusion: Creating a culture of equity in the biosciences (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Abstract: Globally, science remains exclusive and inequalities continue for minoritised communities in the UK, US and across the world. Access to learning resources, quality of learning experiences and graduate outcomes continues to impact minoritise...

Enhancing radiological monitoring of 137Cs in coastal environments using taxonomic signals in brown seaweeds (2023)
Journal Article

With the rapidly expanding global nuclear industry, more efficient and direct radiological monitoring approaches are needed to ensure the associated environmental health impacts and risk remain fully assessed and undertaken as robustly as possible. C... Read More about Enhancing radiological monitoring of 137Cs in coastal environments using taxonomic signals in brown seaweeds.

Genomic analysis of two novel bacteriophages infecting acinetobacter beijerinckii and halotolerans species (2023)
Journal Article

Bacteriophages are the most diverse genetic entities on Earth. In this study, two novel bacteriophages, nACB1 (Podoviridae morphotype) and nACB2 (Myoviridae morphotype), which infect Acinetobacter beijerinckii and Acinetobacter halotolerans, respecti... Read More about Genomic analysis of two novel bacteriophages infecting acinetobacter beijerinckii and halotolerans species.

Experimental validation of computerised models of clustering of platelet glycoprotein receptors that signal via tandem SH2 domain proteins (2022)
Journal Article

The clustering of platelet glycoprotein receptors with cytosolic YxxL and YxxM motifs, including GPVI, CLEC-2 and PEAR1, triggers activation via phosphorylation of the conserved tyrosine residues and recruitment of the tandem SH2 (Src homology 2) dom...

ICTV virus taxonomy profile: Chaseviridae 2022 (2022)
Journal Article

Members of the family Chaseviridae are lytic bacterial viruses infecting representatives of the bacterial class Gammaproteobacteria. Chaseviruses have a global distribution. Virions of members of this family have a myovirus morphology (icosahedral he... Read More about ICTV virus taxonomy profile: Chaseviridae 2022.

The in situ production of aquatic fluorescent organic matter in a simulated freshwater laboratory model (2022)
Journal Article

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is ubiquitous throughout aquatic systems. Fluorescence techniques can be used to characterize the fluorescing proportion of DOM, aquatic fluorescent organic matter (AFOM). AFOM is conventionally named in association wit...

Does Curcumin, the root of Curcumina longa L., act as a prebiotic and if so, how is this beneficial for intestinal health? (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

CFD simulation of fish-like body moving in viscous liquid (2006)
Journal Article

The study of fish-like bodies moving in liquid is an interesting and challenging research subject in the fields of biolocomotion and biomimetics. Typically the effect of tail oscillation on fluid flow around such a body is highly unsteady, generating... Read More about CFD simulation of fish-like body moving in viscous liquid.
