1.
Cheung K, Rollins L, Hammond J, Barton K, Ferguson J, Eyck H, et al.
Genome Biol Evol . 2024 Nov; 16(11). PMID: 39548850
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been widely used in genetics research for decades. Contamination from nuclear DNA of mitochondrial origin (NUMTs) can confound studies of phylogenetic relationships and mtDNA heteroplasmy. Homology...

Ferguson J, Rucker D, Webster 3rd R
IEEE Trans Robot . 2024 Oct; 40:1813-1827. PMID: 39464302
Continuum robots navigate narrow, winding passageways while safely and compliantly interacting with their environments. Sensing the robot's shape under these conditions is often done indirectly, using a few coarsely distributed...

Samarakoon H, Liyanage K, Ferguson J, Parameswaran S, Gamaarachchi H, Deveson I
Bioinformatics . 2024 Aug; 40(8). PMID: 39137136
Motivation: Nanopore sequencing current signal data can be 'basecalled' into sequence information or analysed directly, with the capacity to identify diverse molecular features, such as DNA/RNA base modifications and secondary...

Gamaarachchi H, Ferguson J, Samarakoon H, Liyanage K, Deveson I
Genome Res . 2024 May; 34(5):778-783. PMID: 38692839
In silico simulation of high-throughput sequencing data is a technique used widely in the genomics field. However, there is currently a lack of effective tools for creating simulated data from...

Wong B, Ferguson J, Do J, Gamaarachchi H, Deveson I
Gigascience . 2024 Apr; 13. PMID: 38608279
Background: As adoption of nanopore sequencing technology continues to advance, the need to maintain large volumes of raw current signal data for reanalysis with updated algorithms is a growing challenge....

Cannon P, Ferguson J, Pitt E, Shrand J, Setia S, Nimmagadda N, et al.
IEEE Open J Eng Med Biol . 2024 Mar; 5:133-139. PMID: 38487093
We present a new framework for in vivo image guidance evaluation and provide a case study on robotic partial nephrectomy. This framework (called the "bystander protocol") involves two surgeons, one...

Louie R, Cai C, Samir J, Singh M, Deveson I, Ferguson J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2023 Nov; 14(1):7767. PMID: 38012187
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is effective in treating B cell malignancies, but factors influencing the persistence of functional CAR T cells, such as product composition, patients' lymphodepletion,...

Barton K, Ferguson J, Deveson I, Falcinelli S, James K, Kirchherr J, et al.
J Virol . 2023 Oct; 97(11):e0070523. PMID: 37843370
The lack of a reliable method to accurately detect when replication-competent HIV has been cleared is a major challenge in developing a cure. This study introduces a new approach called...

Ferguson J, Ertop T, Herrell S, Webster R
Robotica . 2023 Sep; 41(5):1590-1616. PMID: 37732333
Robots and inertial measurement units (IMUs) are typically calibrated independently. IMUs are placed in purpose-built, expensive automated test rigs. Robot poses are typically measured using highly accurate (and thus expensive)...

Samarakoon H, Ferguson J, Gamaarachchi H, Deveson I
Bioinformatics . 2023 May; 39(6). PMID: 37252813
Motivation: Nanopore sequencing is emerging as a key pillar in the genomic technology landscape but computational constraints limiting its scalability remain to be overcome. The translation of raw current signal...
