Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
had only rarely been associated with human cases of an outbreak, let alone during a real outbreak. Therefore, this PhD centered on the development of shotgun metagenomics methods to study ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
improves the reconstruction of genomes and helps to resolve complex genomic contexts, especially in the case of metagenome analysis. To take the best advantage of long-read sequencing, DNA extraction methods ...
In Silico Methods for Chromosome Damage.
results for coumarin are presented in more detail as a case study. Overall, it can be concluded that although they are in general less developed than those for mutagenicity, in silico tools for chromosome ...
Association between temperature and natural mortality in Belgium: Effect modification by individual characteristics and residential environment
mortality being associated to extreme temperatures but the extent to which individual or residential factors modulate this temperature vulnerability is less clear. Methods We conducted a multi-city study with ...
Exposure to green space and pollen allergy symptom severity: A case-crossover study in Belgium
pollen allergy patients are complex and best studied in spatio-temporal detail. Methods: We tracked 144 adults sensitized to Betulaceae pollen during the tree pollen season (January-May) of 2017 and 2018 ...
Does air pollution trigger suicide? A case-crossover analysis of suicide deaths over the life span.
Abstract: In addition to underlying health disorders and socio-economic or community factors, air pollution may trigger suicide mortality. This study evaluates the association between short-term variation in ...
Human biomonitoring as a tool for objective exposure assessment: A case-study of a major train accident with acrylonitrile in Belgium

In silico tools and transcriptomics analyses in the mutagenicity assessment of cosmetic ingredients: a proof-of-principle on how to add weight to the evidence.
studies. In the case of cosmetics it may even induce the ban of the particular compound since in Europe the use of experimental animals is no longer allowed for cosmetics. In this article, an alternative ...
Agronomic Practices for Improving Gentle Remediation of Trace Element-Contaminated Soils.
field trials demonstrating successful GRO remains well below the number of studies carried out at a greenhouse level. The move from greenhouse to field conditions requires incorporating agronomical ...
