Analysis of the <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> genome sequence reveals new loci for variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) typing (Publications)
Screening of the genome sequence of the Mycobacterium ulcerans strain Agy99 from Ghana with tandem repeats finder software revealed 34 novel non-degenerate tandem repeats containing loci suitable for
Protein degradation in mitochondria (Publications)
The biogenesis of mitochondria and the maintenance of mitochondrial functions depends on an autonomous proteolytic system in the organelle which is highly conserved throughout evolution. Components of
Membrane protein turnover by the m-AAA protease in mitochondria depends on the transmembrane domains of its subunits (Publications)
AAA proteases are membrane-bound ATP-dependent proteases that are present in eubacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts and that can degrade membrane proteins. Recent evidence suggests dislocation of m
The use of remotely sensed environmental data in the study of malaria (Publications)
Mapping and anticipating risk is a major issue in the fight against malaria, a disease causing an estimated one million deaths each year. Approximately half the world's population is at risk and it is
Prevalence and risk factors for carriage of multi-drug resistant <em>Staphylococci</em> in healthy cats and dogs (Publications)
We investigated the distribution of commensal staphylococcal species and determined the prevalence of multi-drug resistance in healthy cats and dogs. Risk factors associated with the carriage of multi
