HIV Env conserved element DNA vaccine alters immunodominance in macaques
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017 Sequence diversity and immunodominance are major obstacles in the design of an effective vaccine against HIV. HIV Env is a highly-glycosylated protein composed of ‘conserved’ and ‘variable’ regions.

Estimating eDNA shedding and decay rates for muskellunge in early stages of development
Environmental DNA, 2023 Estimating population size and species distribution is essential for fisheries management and conservation. Traditionally, estimates rely on live‐capture and visual surveys; however, these approaches are challenging for low density or elusive species and

Local generalised method of moments: an application to point process-based rainfall models [PDF]
, 2015 Long series of simulated rainfall are required at point locations for a range of applications, including hydrological studies. Clustered point process-based rainfall models have been used for generating such simulations for many decades.

Establishment of an avian leukosis virus subgroup A-resistant cell line
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017 Rapid diagnostic methods for classifying avian leukosis subgroups in the field were needed for routine, large-scale screening. As a first step in method development, we inserted the avian leukosis virus subgroup A (ALV-A) env gene into plasmid pcDNA3.1 ...
