Metagenomics-based tracing of genetically modified microorganism contaminations in commercial fermentation products
feasibility of a metagenomic shotgun sequencing approach to investigate microbial contamination in fermentation products, focusing on source tracing of GMM strains using innovative strain deconvolution and ...
Molecular and WGS-based characterization of invasive Neisseria meningitidis isolates collected in Belgium (2016-2022) and MenB-FHbp vaccine coverage estimation of serogroup B.
used for serogroup determination and whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used to further characterize these strains. The observed serogroups were: MenB (n = 281), MenY (n = 95), MenW (n = 83), MenC ...
The GEN-ERA toolbox: unified and reproducible workflows for research in microbial genomics
need to implement new standards in species delineation, including whole-genome sequencing and phylogenomics. In this context, the genomic needs of the Belgian Coordinated Collections of Microorganisms ...
Genetic relatedness of Staphylococcus aureus isolates within food outbreaks by single nucleotide polymorphisms.
Food Poisoning Staphylococcal Infections Staphylococcus aureus whole genome sequencing Abstract: Investigation of bacterial food outbreaks by whole genome sequencing can rely on the inspection of the ...
The impact of ecosystem nitrogen enrichment on pollen allergy: a cross-sectional paired comparison study
following a standardised protocol. We analysed grassland pollen abundance, quantified pollen species composition via DNA sequencing, and assessed pollen allergenicity using basophil activation testing and ...
Genetic fingerprints derived from genome database mining allow accurate identification of genome-edited rice in the food chain via targeted high-throughput sequencing
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Marie-Alice Fraiture *; D'aes, Jolien; Gobbo, Andrea; Delvoye, Maud; Meunier, Anne-Cécile; Frouin, Julien; Guiderdoni, Emmanuel; Deforce, Dieter; De Vogelaere, Charlotte; De Keersmaecker, Si ...
Development of a shotgun metagenomics workflow for the comprehensive surveillance of biological impurities in vitamin-containing food products
resistance genes. Existing control strategies rely on targeted PCR-based methods, unsuitable to detect untargeted or unknown impurities. In this study, we developed an open shotgun metagenomic sequencing ...
Galaxy @Sciensano: a comprehensive bioinformatics portal for genomics-based microbial typing, characterization, and outbreak detection.
Bacterial Genomics Humans SOFTWARE whole genome sequencing Abstract: The influx of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data in the public health and clinical diagnostic sectors has created a need for data analysis ...
