The paper quantifies post-sampling RNA degradation in wastewater samples and shows it leads to underestimation of viral concentrations, affecting public health surveillance.

This study shows that using a heat snap in RT-PCR increases rotavirus RNA quantification in environmental samples by 125-fold across different sample types and laboratories.

This study shows lognormal distributions accurately model enteric virus concentrations in wastewater, outperforming other distributions, and suggests weekly monitoring for effective and cost-effective tracking.

The paper introduces a likelihood model for digital PCR data to improve statistical inference in environmental applications by addressing non-normal error structures.

Prider is an R package that efficiently designs primers and probes for complex DNA datasets by reducing redundancy and scaling linearly with input size.

nsearch is an open-source C++ library for processing and similarity searching of next-generation sequencing data, offering performance comparable to existing tools.
