Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
have always been analyzed and characterized after isolation. Since the advent of second generation sequencing, it has been possible to characterize the complete genome of these isolates to the SNP level. ...
Validity of self-reported data to assess the prevalence of overweight, hypertension and cholesterol
small-scale surveys (such as the Belgian health examination survey [BHES]). It has been shown, however, that relying on SR data leads to a prevalence underestimation. The objective of this study is to assess ...

Revealing the identification power of CCS: A novel approach applied to pesticide analysis in food
screening purposes. Full scan acquisition has however driven most of the attention because of its inherent benefit of theoretical detection of unlimited number of compounds. In spite of this analytical ...
