Using Micro-Synteny for Phylogenetic Inference and Analysis
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Genetics, 2024)Phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary relationships and history of groups of organisms. Over the past twenty years, the burgeoning number of sequenced genomes has revolutionised the field of phylogenetics taking ... -
Modulation of mitochondrial function as a therapeutic strategy for Stargardt disease and an exploration of the genetic architecture of Stargardt disease in Ireland
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Genetics, 2024)Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) are an extremely heterogeneous group of disorders, together representing the most common cause for vision loss in young people. An estimated 5.5 million people globally are living ... -
Investigating the potential to source novel postbiotics with anti-microbial or immune-modulatory activity from distillery waste
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Microbiology, 2024)The purpose of this project is to find a novel source for antimicrobial and immunomodulatory compounds. Here we investigate the antimicrobial and immunomodulatory potential of postbiotics sourced from whisky distillation. ... -
Preventing protein-dependent biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus by targeting the serine aspartate repeat protein C and fibronectin binding proteins
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Microbiology, 2017)Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of biofilm infections on indwelling medical devices. S. aureus biofilm infections are intrinsically difficult to treat. They are recalcitrant to conventional antibiotics and resistant ... -
Ecological dependencies and the illusion of cooperation in microbial communities
(2024)Ecological dependencies - where organisms rely on other organisms for survival - are a ubiquitous feature of life on earth. Multicellular hosts rely on symbionts to provide essential vitamins and amino acids. Legume plants ...
