GeneFior: A back to basics and transparent multi-tool approach tosequence detection

Nicholas J Dimonaco, Katie Lawther

GeneFior improves sequence detection by integrating multiple tools and enforcing transparency, reducing false positives while preserving sensitivity to low-abundance variants.

Struvite fertiliser offers a sustainable solution for recycling of phosphorus for crop growth without altering the soil resistome.

Katie Lawther, Nicholas J Dimonaco, Brett Greer…·Sharon Huws

This study evaluates the impact of struvite fertiliser on soil antimicrobial resistance and finds no significant increase in AMR genes or resistant bacteria compared to conventional fertilisers.
