Conservation Genetic Resources for Effective Species Survival (ConGRESS): Bridging the divide between conservation research and practice
Nichols, RA; Pérez-Espona, S; Primmer, C; Russo, IRM; Segelbacher, G; Siegismund, HR; Sihvonen, M; Sjögren-Gulve, P; Vernesi, C; Vilà, C (2013-12-01)Policy makers and managers are increasingly called upon to assess the state of biodiversity, and make decisions regarding potential interventions. Genetic tools are well-recognised in the research community as a powerful ... -
Deep sequencing of viral genomes provides insight into the evolution and pathogenesis of varicella zoster virus and its vaccine in humans.
Depledge, DP; Kundu, S; Jensen, NJ; Gray, ER; Jones, M; Steinberg, S; Gershon, A; Kinchington, PR; Schmid, DS; Balloux, F (2014-02)Immunization with the vOka vaccine prevents varicella (chickenpox) in children and susceptible adults. The vOka vaccine strain comprises a mixture of genotypes and, despite attenuation, causes rashes in small numbers of ... -

Diploidization and genome size change in allopolyploids is associated with differential dynamics of low- and high-copy sequences
Renny-Byfield, S; Kovarik, A; Kelly, LJ; MacAs, J; Novak, P; Chase, MW; Nichols, RA; Pancholi, MR; Grandbastien, MA; Leitch, AR (2013-06-01)Summary Recent advances have highlighted the ubiquity of whole-genome duplication (polyploidy) in angiosperms, although subsequent genome size change and diploidization (returning to a diploid-like condition) are poorly ... -
Evidence for directional selection at a novel major histocompatibility class I marker in wild common frogs (Rana temporaria) exposed to a viral pathogen (Ranavirus).
Teacher, AGF; Garner, TWJ; Nichols, RA (2009)Whilst the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is well characterized in the anuran Xenopus, this region has not previously been studied in another popular model species, the common frog (Rana temporaria). Nor, to date, ... -
