Rewrite Longitudinal profiling of low-abundance strains in microbiomes with

The ability to detect and quantify microbiota over time from shotgun metagenomic data has a plethora of clinical, basic science and public health applications. Given these applications, and the observation that pathogens and other taxa of interest can reside at low relative abundance, there is a critical need for algorithms that accurately profile low-abundance microbial […]

Queering conservation

In the way that queer theory recognises the importance of fluidity – particularly with regard to identity and sexuality as fluid and changeable phenomena, queer ecology challenges the mindset of ‘fixedness’ that upholds heterosexist notions of fixed identity, sexuality and gender roles.  It challenges western science’s rigid categorisation, reductionism with its implicit heterosexist assumptions, and […]
