This study compares the limit of detection of Salmonella ser. Enteritidis using culture-based and culture-independent methods, finding comparable LOD50 for qPCR and shotgun sequencing, but false positives in unspiked samples and lower LOD50 in feed than caecal contents.

The paper develops a bioinformatic pipeline to detect Salmonella in metagenomic datasets with high sensitivity and specificity by optimizing software parameters and database choices.

This study examines how folic acid deficiency and supplementation affect mutation rates in bone marrow and colon, revealing tissue-specific mutagenic effects.

This study predicts human-Zika virus protein-protein interactions and designs synthetic peptides to disrupt these interactions as potential anti-Zika virus therapeutics.
