Flush With Data (or) Optimizing and Validating the Efficacy of Free and Computationally Simple 16S Metabarcoding Approaches for Use in Wastewater Surveillance. [PDF]
Wastewater treatment plant 16S rRNA sequencing data was used to create simulated read sets of known species composition and relative abundances. These sequence sets were used to optimize current 16S metabarcoding analysis pipelines for the complexity of municipal wastewater samples.

Quercetin elevates p27Kip1 and arrests both primary and HPV16 E6/E7 transformed human keratinocytes in G1 [PDF]
Our previous work with primary bovine fibroblasts demonstrated that quercetin, a potent mutagen found in high levels in bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), arrested cells in G1 and G2/M, in correlation with p53 activation.
