Psychological distress and online advice-seeking in times of COVID-19: vertical and horizontal equity of an e-mental health strategy
We used logistic regression to compare the association between psychological distress and online advice-seeking across waves and sociodemographic groups. Results: 29% of the respondents sought online ...
The GEN-ERA toolbox: unified and reproducible workflows for research in microbial genomics
were studied, resulting in the GEN- ERA toolbox. The latter is a unified cluster of bioinformatic workflows dedicated to both bacteria and small eukaryotes (e.g., yeasts). Findings: This public toolbox ...
Women’s health report for Belgium: addressing the information gap
health issues specific to women or affecting them differently and possible knowledge and data gaps. Results The report highlighted several data gaps, e.g. prevalence of endometriosis and polycystic ovary ...
Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
bacterium that occurs as a contaminant in food and feed, occasionally resulting in food poisoning through the production of various toxins. In this study, we retrospectively characterized viable B. cereus ...
Targeted Whole Genome Sequencing of the Capripoxvirus Genome from Clinical Tissue Samples and Lyophilized Vaccine Batches.
of tiled amplicons. The resulting amplicons can be sequenced on all currently available high-throughput sequencing platforms. As an example, we have included a detailed protocol for performing nanopore ...
