Swain M, Radford E, Akanyeti A, Hallwood J, Whitworth D
Mol Omics . 2023 Dec; 20(2):138-145. PMID: 38098456
The outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) secreted by some Gram-negative bacteria contain RNA cargo, which can be introduced into target cells, affecting their cellular processes. To test whether the antimicrobial OMVs...

NAR Genom Bioinform . 2022 Sep; 4(3):lqac062. PMID: 36071721
Alignment-free methods are alternatives to alignment-based methods when searching sequence data sets. The output from an alignment-free sequence comparison is a similarity score, the interpretation of which is not straightforward....

Mol Omics . 2021 Nov; 18(1):45-56. PMID: 34781332
is one of the aetiological trematodes associated with fascioliasis, which heavily impacts food-production systems and human and animal welfare on a global scale. In the absence of a vaccine, fascioliasis...

Pathogens . 2021 Aug; 10(7). PMID: 34358062
is a neglected gastro-intestinal tapeworm, commonly infecting horses worldwide. Molecular investigation of is hampered by a lack of tools to better understand the host-parasite interface. This interface is likely influenced...

Sydney N, Swain M, So J, Hoiczyk E, Tucker N, Whitworth D
Microb Physiol . 2021 Apr; 31(2):57-66. PMID: 33794538
Bacterial predation is a ubiquitous and fundamental biological process, which influences the community composition of microbial ecosystems. Among the best characterised bacterial predators are the myxobacteria, which include the model...

Whitworth D, Swain M
Mol Omics . 2020 Aug; 16(5):492-502. PMID: 32780046
Prokaryotic ncRNAs are important regulators of gene expression, and can be involved in complex signalling networks. The myxobacteria are model organisms for studies into multicellular development and microbial predation, being...

Morris A, Robinson G, Swain M, Chalmers R
Front Public Health . 2020 Jan; 7:360. PMID: 31921734
The protozoan parasite is an important cause of diarrheal disease (cryptosporidiosis) in humans and animals, with significant morbidity and mortality especially in severely immunocompromised people and in young children in...

Sutton D, Livingstone P, Furness E, Swain M, Whitworth D
Front Microbiol . 2019 Dec; 10:2650. PMID: 31798566
Despite widespread use in human biology, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of bacteria are few and have, to date, focused primarily on pathogens. Myxobacteria are predatory microbes with large patchwork genomes,...

Hereditas . 2019 Nov; 156:33. PMID: 31695583
A controversy arose over Mendel's pea crossing experiments after the statistician R.A. Fisher proposed how these may have been performed and criticised Mendel's interpretation of his data. Here we re-examine...

Genome Biol . 2019 Sep; 20(1):187. PMID: 31477173
Background: Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are the vectors of human and animal trypanosomiasis throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Tsetse flies are distinguished from other Diptera by unique adaptations, including lactation and the...
