Microbial Nitrogen Cycling in Antarctic Soils
Microorganisms, 2020 The Antarctic continent is widely considered to be one of the most hostile biological habitats on Earth. Despite extreme environmental conditions, the ice-free areas of the continent, which constitute some 0.44% of the total continental land area ...

Bayesian hierarchical modelling for inferring genetic interactions in yeast [PDF]
, 2015 Quantitative Fitness Analysis (QFA) is a high-throughput experimental and computational methodology for measuring the growth of microbial populations. QFA screens can be used to compare the health of cell populations with and without a mutation in a query gene in order to infer genetic interaction strengths genome-wide, examining thousands of separate ...
